Boltzmann method.
AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
