This study deals with the Benard flow of magnetic fluids in a rectangular cavity. The ratio of height to length of the cavity is 1 : 4 and the bottom of the cavity is assumed to be a heating face while the other sides are to be cooling faces. When magnetic field was equally impressed, considering the internal rotation of the elementary ferromagnetic particle, we found the following result from the numerical analysis of the GSMAC algorithm applied to the equations for the magnetic fluid. Benard flow was controled by the intensity and the direction of magnetic fields, and a critical point was appeared when the magnetic field near H=-7000 was applied.

This study deals with the Benard Flow of Magnetic Fluids in a rectangular cavity which the ratio between height and width is 1 : 4 and the base side or left side is a heating face while other sides are to be cooling faces. When Magnetic field was equally impressed, considering the internal rotation of the elementary ferromagnetic particle, we found the following result from the numerical analysis of the GSMAC algorithm applied to the equation of the magnetic fluid. Benard flow is controlled by intensity and direction of magnetic fields, and critical point appears when especially magnetic field with a heating base and side area near H=-7000 and H=-10000 is applied.
