Numerical Investigation of the Effect of Magnetic Field on Natural Convection in a Curved-Shape Enclosure

This investigation reports the magnetic field effect on natural convection heat transfer in a curved-shape enclosure. The numerical investigation is carried out using the control volume-based-finite element method (CVFEM). The numerical investigations are performed for various values of Hartmann num...
