| Summary: | A free convection heat transfer in a sinusoidally heated enclosure filled with conducting fluid is presented in this chapter by Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM). The horizontal walls in the enclosures are insulated and there is an opening part on the right wall. The right non-open parts of the vertical wall of the square cavity are maintained at constant cold temperature and the left wall of the cavity is sinusoidally heated. The cavity is get under a uniform in-plane magnetic field. The main aim of this study is to highlight the effectiveness of the LBM mesoscopic approach to predict the effects of pertinent parameters such as the Hartmann number varying from 0 to 150 where Rayleigh number is fixed at moderate value of 105 on flow patterns. This in-house numerical code used in this chapter is ascertained and a good agreement with literature is highlighted. The appropriate validation with previous numerical investigations demonstrated that this attitude is a suitable method and a powerful approach for engineering MHD problems. Findings and results show the alterations of Hartmann number that influence the isotherms and the streamlines widely. |
