We are thrilled to announce the collaboration between University de Tunis el Manar and University of West Attica. Faculty of Science of Tunis and Fast Analysis and Simulation Team are going to work at 2D and 3D simulations of Hybrid Nanofluid Convection.  The collaboration started with the intership of the PhD candidate Oussema Bakourti at September and terminised at November, during that period simualtions performed for the project «Three-dimensional convection of hybrid nanofluid in porous medium with the presence of magnetic field and heat deflector: Entropy Analysis». Morevover, Oussema gave a lecture to the graduating students and more specifically to the students of the class «Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics».
