abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">In this study, natural convection flow in a porous cavity with sinusoidal
temperature distribution has been analyzed by a new double multi relaxation time
(MRT) Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). We consider a copper/water nanofluid filling a porous cavity. For simulating the temperature and flow fields, D2Q5 and D2Q9
lattices are utilized respectively, and the effects of different Darcy numbers (Da) (0.001-0.1) and various Rayleigh numbers (Ra) ($10^3$-$10^5$) for porosity ($ε$) between 0.4 and 0.9
have been considered. Phase deviation ($θ$) changed from 0 to $π$ and the volume fraction
of nanoparticles (Ø) varied from 0 to 6%. The present results show a good agreement
with the previous works, thus confirming the reliability the new numerical method
proposed in this paper. It is indicated that the heat transfer rate increases at increasing
Darcy number, porosity, Rayleigh number, the volume fraction of nanoparticles and
phase deviation. However, the most sensitive parameter is the Rayleigh number. The
maximum Nusselt deviation is 10%, 32% and 33% for Ra=$10^3$, $10^4$ and $10^5$, respectively, with $ε = 0.4$ to $ε = 0.9$. It can be concluded that the effect of Darcy number on
the heat transfer rate increases at increasing Rayleigh number, yielding a maximum
enhancement of the average Nusselt number around 12% and 61% for Ra=$10^3$ and
Ra=$10^5$, respectively.</p>},
