| Abstract: | Effect of Lorentz forces on natural convection in a complex shaped cavity filled with nanoliquid immersed in porous medium is investigated by means of Control volume based finite element method (CVFEM). Non Darcy model is taken into account for porous media. The working fluid is Fe3O4 –water and its viscosity considered as function of magnetic field. Figures are illustrated for different values of Darcy number (Da), Fe3O4 -water volume fraction (?), Rayleigh (Ra) and Hartmann (Ha) numbers. Results depict that enhancing in Lorentz forces results in reduce in nanofluid motion and increase the thickness of thermal boundary. Convective heat transfer enhances with rise of Darcy number. |
