Abstract

The present work is deliberated to investigate the flow and thermal behavior of viscous fluid flow in permeable rhombic-shaped enclosure. Annular region lying below inner and outer rhombuses is the area of concentration during this study. Magnetic field is employed in horizontal direction to envision aspects of Lorentz field. Governing equations are developed in dimensional form of partial differential setup. Numerical experiments via finite element approach are capitalized to find solution. Grid convergence test is executed to show domain distribution along with decision about mesh level at which computations are to conducted. Streamlines and isothermal maps are sketched to show comprehensive change in associated flow fields against governing parameters. Kinetic energy and average heat flux coefficient are evaluated in comparative manner for magnetic and hydrodynamic situations. Through attained outcomes, it is concluded that kinetic energy and heat flux coefficient enhances reduction against Hartmann number.
