The two-dimensional natural convection of fluid under both a magnetic and a gravitational field was modeled by conservation equations. Sample computations were carried out for the fluid in a square enclosure for Rayleigh number of from 10^4 to 10^6, for Hartman number of from 1 to 10^3 and for Prandtl number equal to 0.054, equivalent to melted silicon. The numerical computations converged successfully and the Nusselt numbers obtained were correlated to give an empirical equation for the rate of heat transfer. The steady state solutions were graphically visualized. At Ha=10^3 and Ra=10^6, the point at which the temperature profile was almost linear, the flow was almost suppressed and elongated in a regime with high wave numbers.
