AB - Nanoparticles play an important role in nanofluids to enhance thermal  conduction, and can be easily controlled by a magnetic force, so it can be  widely used in nano/micro devices. This paper gives two mathematical models  to describe the nanofluid flow, one is an approximate continuum model, in  which the homotopy matching is used to deal the discontinuity between the  fluid and nanoparticles, and the other is to use the conservation laws in a  fractal space. The models give new physical insight into the particle  fluid-flow.
