Abstract

The study of the effects of flow parameters on magneto-convective flow past an inclined conductor with a constant transversal magnetic field applied is considered. The governing momentum and energy equations are solved using a finite central scheme approximation, and the developing partial difference equations are solved using MATLAB software. The study indicated that heat absorption coefficient, Hartmann and Rayleigh numbers greatly influence the flow, and the angle of inclination of the conductor strongly affects the buoyancy force component. The results are represented in 2-dimensional graphs and tables.
