ABSTRACT

Natural convection of liquid metal in a cubic enclosure heated from one vertical wall and cooled from an opposing wall is studied under a horizontal lateral magnetic field parallel to the heated and cooled walls. The Seebeck effect generates the electric current corresponding to temperature difference. This effect is included both in the fluid and enclosure wall and numerically studied to investigate the combination effect of these parameters.
