Abstract

For the last 20 years research concerning the strong magnetic field influence on the weakly magnetic substances has been dynamically developing. The published papers refer mainly to natural convection problems connected with the impact of strong magnetic field. This paper follows previous Authors' approach to forced convection modification by the additional magnetic force. Presently, attention was paid to the heat transfer processes and their quality assessment done in the basis of Nusselt number for low Reynolds number flow. The analysis was done for the geometry from Graetz-Brinkman problem with the magnetic coil located at the position of adiabatic-thermal boundary condition change. The numerical analysis was performed with Ansys software and application of the user-defined functions. Presented results revealed the influence of magnetic field on the flow structure and heat transfer.
