In the present paper, the effect of nanofluid and the hot obstacle in a -shaped cavity is investigated. Lattice Boltzmann method is used to simulate the fluid flow and heat transfer. The effects of the parameters such as the nanoparticle solid volume fraction, the Rayleigh number, aspect ratio of cavity and hot obstacle position on the flow pattern and heat transfer parameters are studied. The numerical results are compared with previous results for validation, and a good agreement obtained. It is found that the average Nusselt number is increased by increasing the nanoparticle solid volume fraction, the Rayleigh number and the aspect ratio of cavity. Moreover, the effect of Rayleigh number on the average Nusselt number at high Rayleigh numbers (10(5)-10(6)) is more pronounced than that at low Rayleigh numbers (10(3)-10(4)) due to the different heat transfer mechanisms. The position of the hot obstacle affects the heat transfer significantly. When the hot obstacle is located on the center, the heat transfer is more effective.
