Summary

INTRODUCTION

Ferrofluids (FF) are colloidal suspension magnetic particles, which have dimensions of about 10 to 100 nm, dispersed in a base fluid. Applying the ferrofluid on natural or mixed convection in cavities with or without a partially layered porous is a fundamental problem in fluid mechanics. This flow has various engineering applications such as heat change in a domestic refrigerator, electronic cooling, solar collectors, and microelectromechanical systems.. By using the mixture model and finite volume method, Asadi et al. examined the hydrodynamic and thermal behavior in forced convection of ferrofluid under impacts of a non-uniform magnetic field in a channel Their results can be used for enhancement heat transfer in heat exchangers. The target of this work is to depict the impact of variable external magnetic fields on natural convection of the ferrofluid filled in a partially layered porous cavity.
