Abstract

We study the stationary version of a thermodynamically consistent variant of the Buongiorno model describing convective transport in nanofluids. Under some smallness assumptions it is proved that there exist regular solutions. Based on this regularity result, error estimates, both in the natural norm as well as in weaker norms for finite element approximations can be shown. The proofs are based on the theory developed by Caloz and Rappaz for general nonlinear, smooth problems. Computational results confirm the theoretical findings.
