Three-dimensional numerical computations were carried out for the natural convection of air in a horizontal cylindrical enclosure in a magnetic field, which is modeled for a bore space of a horizontal superconducting magnet. The enclosure was cooled from the circumferential sidewall at the constant heat flux and vertical end walls were thermally insulated. A strong magnetic field was considered by a one-turn electric coil with the concentric and twice diameter of the cylinder. Without a magnetic field, natural convection occurs along the circumferential sidewall. When a magnetic field was applied, magnetizing force induced the additional convection, that is, the cooled air at the circumferential wall was attracted to the location of a coil. Consequently, the temperature around the coil decreased extensively.
