Streamlines (top: (a, b, c), (g, h, i) and (m, n, o) respectively for Ra = 10³, Ra = 10⁵ and Ra = 10⁶) and isotherms (bottom: (d, e, f), (j, k, l) and (p, q, r) respectively for Ra = 10³, Ra = 10⁵ and Ra = 10⁶) for pure water (—) and for different nanofluids (----) (Al₂O₃ (a, d, g, j, m and p), Cu (b, e, h, k, n and q) and TiO₂ (c, f, i, l, o and r)) in the plane Z = 1/2.
