In this paper, flow and heat transfer of a nanofluid in a square cavity with curve boundaries in presence of magnetic field is investigated numerically using lattice Boltzmann method. The base fluid in the enclosure is water containing Al2O3. The effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid are calculated by KKL (Koo–Kleinstreuer–Li) correlation. In this model effect of Brownian motion on the effective thermal conductivity is considered. This investigation when compared with other numerical methods was found to be in excellent agreement. The influence of the nanoparticle volume fraction, Rayleigh number and Hartmann number on flow and heat transfer is investigated. The results show that enhancement in heat transfer increases with increase of Hartmann number except forRa= 104in whichHa= 40 roles as a critical Hartmann number.
