Abstract

Abstract

The magneto hydrodynamics natural convection heat transfer problem inside a porous media filled inclined rectangular enclosures is investigated numerically.The boundary conditions selected on the enclosure were two adiabatic and two isothermal walls.The governing equations,continuity,Forchheimer extension of Darcy law and energy,were going to be transformed into dimensionless form using a set of suitable variables then solved using a finite difference scheme.The governing parameters are magnetic influence number,Darcy-Rayleigh number,inclination angle,and the aspect ratio of the enclosure.It is found that the magnetic influence number and the inclination angle parameter have pronounced effects on the fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media filled enclosures.
