A computational study of convective flow and heat transfer in a cavity in the presence of uniform magnetic field is carried out. The side walls of the cavity have spatially varying sinusoidal temperature distributions. The horizontal walls are adiabatic. The governing equations are solved by the finite volume method. The results are discussed for different combinations of phase deviation, amplitude ratio, and Hartmann and Rayleigh numbers. It is observed that the heat transfer rate is increased with amplitude ratio. The heat transfer rate is increased first and then decreased on increasing the phase deviation. It is also found that the heat transfer rate is decreased with an increasing Hartmann number.
