Abstract
A numerical study of buoyancy-induced convection current in a porous container of square shape in the presence of a uniform magnetic flux is conducted. The vertical wall situated on the left side is heated using two discrete heaters, and the constant temperature is maintained on the right side. There is no thermal transfer through the horizontal walls. Brinkman-Forchheimer Darcy-extended model was employed in this study. The non-dimensional leading equations were evaluated using the finite volume method. The effects of different values of the porosity, direction of the magnetic flux, Hartmann number, Rayleigh number, and Darcy number were also evaluated. The results revealed that the Hartmann number and average thermal energy transport were disproportionate to each other as were the average heat transfer and Darcy number.
