Abstract
MHD free convection and heat transfer in a wavy cavity with a single fin placed on the cold wall are studied here. Solution of the governing nonlinear dimensionless equations is achieved by the Galerkin-weighted residual finite element method. Fluid flows and thermal behavior are examined to decide the impact of three major parameters like the Rayleigh number, position of the fin, and length of the fin. Furthermore, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model is employed to investigate the correlation of the Nusselt number with parameters studied. The findings of this work are presented in various visualizations which depict flow structures together with temperature distribution and heat transfer along with mean Nusselt number data. The study also shows that changing fin positions and fin lengths cause drastic variations to the flow structure as well as the temperature distribution field. There is a strong increase in the average Nusselt number with the increased fin length as well as high Rayleigh numbers. The ANN yields precise results without experiencing overfitting although validation loss exhibits little variations.
