The effects of MHD free convection on heat flow within a square cavity. Free convection flow in the presence of magnetic field in a square cavity with semi circular heat source is studied in this paper. The lower wall of cavity is heated from below and the upper wall of cavity is cold; on the other hand, the side walls of the cavity are thermally insulated.
In the current study, Finite Element Method has been used to convert the non-linear coupled partial differential equations for flow and temperature field into a matrix form of equations, which can be solved iteratively with the help of a computer code. The Galerkin Finite Element Method of three nodded triangular elements is used to divide the physical domain into smaller segments, which is a pre-requisite for finite element method. Numerical results are presented in terms of stream functions, isotherms, temperature profiles and Nusselt numbe.
