Abstract
Two-dimensional numerical computations were carried out to clarify the influence of magnetizing force for the heat transfer of air in a vertical cylindrical container with the thermal and vertical magnetic field gradients under a non-gravitational field. In these numerical computations, several sizes and locations of a circular electric coil were tested. In a non-gravitational field, the heat transfer of air was able to be controlled by the magnetizing force. The Nusselt number in a non-gravitational field was increased in comparison with that in a gravitational field.
