摘要: Abstract In the present study, combined convection in an open channel with a square cavity which has partially or fully heated on left side to simulate assisting flow is carried out numerically using finite element method. A computer code developed solve governing equations. Fluid flows through cavity. The of isothermal heater. Inlet temperature fluid colder than that Remaining parts are adiabatic. Thus, two cases tested as (Case 1) and 2). Effects magnetic field inside channel. studied parameters Rayleigh numbers (Ra) Hartmann number (Ha). It was observed length heater becomes insignificant for higher values number. On contrary, heat transfer formed partial at
