ABSTRACT.
In this study, we derive a Galerkin finite element scheme for approximating the evolutionary Stokes Equations under magnetic effects which are governing a flow dynamics in a doubly driven cavity. The stable finite element numerical scheme is applied to trace the physics associated with the complex flow dynamics under the different MHD forces. The flow pattern is traced for different Hartmann and Reynolds Numbers and the obtained results are discussed in detail.
