In this paper, laminar copper-water nanofluid flow and heat transfer in a two-dimensional wavy channel is numerically investigated. The Reynolds number and nanoparticle volume fraction considered are in the ranges of 100-800 and 0-5% respectively. Numerical solutions are obtained by solving the gove...
