Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to conduct numerical calculation on nanofluid’s natural convection. The Al2O3-water nanofluids are taken as an example, and systems of numerical solutions of velocity and temperature fields of boundary layer are obtained with consideration of nanofluid’s variable physical properties. They will become the basis of further investigation on hydrodynamics and heat transfer of nanofluid’s natural convection.
