文摘In this article,natural convection of a temperature-sensitive magnetic fluid in a porous media is studied numerically by using lattice Boltzmann method.Results show that the heat transfer decreases when the ball numbers increase.When the magnetic field is increased,the heat transfer is enhanced;however the average wall Nusselt number increases at small ball numbers but decreases at large ball numbers due to the induced flow being more likely confined near the bottom walls with a high number of obstacles.
