This study numerically investigates the mixed convection of ferrofluids in a partially heated lid driven square enclosure. The heater is located to the left vertical wall and the right vertical wall is kept at constant lower temperature while other walls of the cavity are assumed to be adiabatic. The governing equations are solved with Galerkin weighted residual finite element method. The influence of the Richardson number (between 0.01 and 100), heater location (between 0.25 H and 0.75H), strength of the magnetic dipole (between 0 and 4), and horizontal location of the magnetic dipole source (between-2H and-0.5H) on the fluid flow and heat transfer are numerically investigated. It is found that local and averaged heat transfer deteriorates with increasing values of Richardson number and magnetic dipole strength. The flow field and thermal characteristics are sensitive to the magnetic dipole source strength and its position and heater location.

The present work is dedicated to the three-dimensional numerical study of mixed convection heat transfer, taking place within a ventilated cavity (of shape L) crossed by Cu-water nanofluid. The enclosure is subjected to the action of a magnetic field. The ventilation is assured by two openings of the same size. The cold flow enters by an opening practiced at the top of the left wall, and exits by another opening practiced at the bottom of the right vertical wall. All the cavity walls are maintained at the same temperature, superior to that of the entering flow, except the side walls which are considered as adiabatic. The control parameters are: the Reynolds number and the Hartmann number as well as the nanoparticles volume fraction.
