The natural convection of air was computed in an inclined cubic enclosure heated from one wall and cooled from the opposing vertical wall with one electric coil, which induces a magnetic field gradient. Length of the cubic enclosure was set to 0.064 m and the radius of the coil 0.05 m. Characteristic dimensionless values are the Rayleigh number, the Prandtl number, and γ, which indicates the strength of the applied magnetic field. Sample computations were carried out for the parameter ranges, Pr=0.71, Ra=10^5, γ=0, 5 and the inclination angleφ_2. The results revealed that the average Nusselt number seriously depends on both inclination angle and the magnetizing force strengthγ.
