The two dimensional study of natural convection in vertical cylindrical annular enclosure filled with Cu-water nanofluid under magnetic fields is numerically analyzed. The vertical walls are maintained at different uniform hot and cold temperatures, THand TC, respectively. The top and bottom walls of the enclosure are thermally insulated. The governing equations are solved numerically by using a finite volume method. The coupling between the continuity and momentum equations is effected using the SIMPLER algorithm. Numerical analysis has been carried out for a wide range of Rayleigh number (103≤Ra≤106), Hartmann number (1 ≤Ha≤100) and nanoparticles volume fraction (0 ≤φ≤0.08). The influence of theses physical parameters on the streamlines, isotherms and average Nusselt has been numerically investigated.
