Abstract The current study deals with a numerical investigation of magnetoconvection and entropy generation within a lid driven square cavity subject to
uniform magnetic field and filled with liquid metal. Effects of multiple parameters namely; the Prandtl, Hartmann and Richardson numbers were
predicted and analyzed using a numerical methodology based on the finite volume method and a full multigrid technique. The numerical outcome of
the present study shows that, the enhancement of Hartmann number declines the heat transfer rate for all liquid metals considered. Moreover, it is
observed that augmenting the Richardson number leads to acceleration of the flow with a… More >
