Background: In this work, the effect of a uniform magnetic field (UMF) on the natural convection heat transfer of Cu-water nanofluid in a porous half-annulus cavity is studied by finite element method, considering heat generation. The effects of four parameters (magnetic field angle (γ), Hartmann number (Ha), nanoparticles volume fraction (φ) and Rayleigh number (Ra)) on the local and average Nusselt numbers of outer wall have been investigated. Methods: Numerical Finite Element Method (FEM) based on FlexPDE commercial code was used to solve the described problems and the validation was also performed by Finite Difference Method (FDM) in previous studies. Results: It was found that by applying external magnetic field with a certain angle with respect to the geometry, the maximum local heat Nusselt number could shift to one side of outer wall and the shift is dependent on the angle of the imposed magnetic field. Conclusion: Our results also confirm that increasing the Hartmann number decreases the Nusselt number due to Lorentz force resulting from the presence of stronger magnetic field which slows down the fluid motion and in turn leads to a decreased heat transfer.

AbstractA cheapest stable nonconforming finite element method is presented for solving the incompressible flow in a square cavity without smoothing the corner singularities. The stable cheapest nonconforming finite element pair based on P1×P0 on rectangularmeshes [29] is employed with a minimal modification of the discontinuous Dirichlet data on the top boundary, where is the finite element space of piecewise constant pressures with the globally one-dimensional checker-board pattern subspace eliminated. The proposed Stokes elements have the least number of degrees of freedom compared to those of known stable Stokes elements. Three accuracy indications for our elements are analyzed and numerically verified. Also, various numerous computational results obtained by using our proposed element show excellent accuracy.
