The effects of magnetic field and Joule heating on the heat transfer and fluid flow in a Cu-water nanofluid-filled lid-driven cavity are investigated in this paper. The cavity left side wall is heated by two sinusoidal heat sources, while the other walls have constant temperatures. The top wall of the cavity moves with fixed velocity in +x direction, and the other walls are under no-slip boundary conditions. A constant magnetic flux density is applied to the cavity left side wall. Numerical procedures can be applied to solve the dimensionless equations governing the stream function and temperature at various Reynolds number (Re), Hartmann number (Ha), Eckert number (Ec), magnetic field angle() and the solid nanoparticles volume fraction(phi). The averaged Nusselt number (Nu(avg)) is used to specify the rate of the heat transfer. It can be observed that increasing phi and also increasing Re result in the significant increase of Nu(avg), which enhances convective cooling, and furthermore, Nu(avg) is varied with . The increase of Ha within the cavity causes decrease in heat transfer, which enhances conduction heat transfer and also reduces Nu(avg). The negative influence of Joule heating on the convection within the cavity is observable in this regard, and the convection is decreased by increasing the value of Ec.
