Mathematical modeling of a nanofluid in a porous cavity with side wall temperature in the presence of magnetic field

In this study, Natural convection of a nanofluid in a porous cavity with activated vertical walls with heated from the right wall is numerically analyzed under the effects of Magnetic field using the Finite Difference technique. The flow in a cavity is performed for various Darcy Number (Da), Hartmann Number (Ha) and Rayleigh Number (Ra). The flow in a cavity is described by streamlines and the isotherms. The heat transfer from the wall are described using the Nusselt numbers. The effect of Magnetic field influences the fluid flow for the higher Darcy number, Da. Also, the results discuss effect of Magnetic field over the flow in a cavity and heat transfer.
