Abstract A thermal lattice Boltzmann model for incompressible flow is developed and extended to investigate the natural convection flow in porous media under the effect of uniform magnetic field. The study shows that the flow behaviour is various parameters dependent. The Rayleigh number (Ra), Hartmann number (Ha), Darcy number (Da) and the medium inclination angle from the horizontal (Φ), the magnetic field orientation (ψ) and the medium porosity (ε) effects are carried out in wide ranges encountered in industrial and engineering applications. It was found that the flow and temperature patterns change significantly when varying these parameters. To confirm the accuracy… More >
