Abstract We present in this study a numerical investigation of unsteady two-dimensional natural convection of an electrically conducting fluid in a square cavity under an externally imposed magnetic field. A temperature gradient is applied between the two opposing side walls parallel to y-direction, while the floor and ceiling parallel to x-direction are adiabatic. The flow is characterized by the Rayleigh number Ra raged in 103-106, the Prandtl number Pr ranged in 0.01-10, the Hartman number Ha determined by the strength of the imposed magnetic field ranged in 0-100 and its tilting angle from x-axis ranging from 0 to 90 .
