In the present research, outputs of numerical modeling of hybrid nanomaterial flow structure and thermal behavior were investigated and in-house code was implemented for simulation. Radiation terms and Lorentz force terms were included in mathematical model. Outputs demonstrate the flow structure and isotherm style with altering important parameters. Dependence of variables on Nu values was summarized in a new formula. More intensive convection should be accomplished with growth of buoyancy force and permeability. More smooth separation from the hot surface can appear with rise in permeability. Besides, it is worth mentioning that augmenting Da leads to easier nanopowder migration and thinner boundary layer generation.
