  This paper presents the results of extensive numerical simulations, based on the control volume method, of 2D nanofluid fluid flow around a heated elliptical cylinder with different incidence angle and aspect ratio. The continuity and momentum equations have been numerically solved using a SIMPLE algorithm. Two types of nanofluids consisting of Al2O3 and CuO nanoparticles dispersed separately in base fluids of water and ethylene glycol mixture 60:40 (by mass), were selected to evaluate their effect on the flow over elliptical cylinder, also their superiority over conventional fluids. The thermo-physical parameters of nanofluid have been estimated using the theory of one fluid phase, a contemporary correlations of thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluids have been used in this paper, which are functions of particle volumetric concentration as w..
