Hydrodynamic and Mhd Equations across the Bow Shock and along the Surfaces of Planetary Obstacles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Examinations of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations across a bow shock are presented. These equations are written in the familiar Rankine–Hugoniot set, and an exact solution to this set is given which involves the upstream magnetosonic Mach number, plasma , polytropic index, and B v , as a function of position along the shock surface. The asymptotic Mach cone angle of the shock surface is also given as a function of the upstream parameters, as a set of transcendental equations. The standoff position of a detached bow shock from an obstacle is also reviewed. In addition, a detailed examination of the hydrodynamic equations along the boundary of the obstacle is performed. Lastly, the MHD relations along the obstacle surface are examined, for specific orientations of the upstream interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) in relation to the upstream flow velocity vector.

Planetary bow shocks: Asymptotic MHD Mach cones
A direct approach for determining the asymptotic MHD Mach cone is formulated and solved. An implicit analytical solution enables the calculation of the asymptotic downstream slope of MHD Mach cones at any clock angle for arbitrary Ms , Ma , and θbv . The solution obtained includes all previously known symmetric cases. The elongation and shift of the asymptotic fast mode shock cross-section are ...

In this paper, conjugate heat transfer of magneto hydrodynamic mixed convection of nanofluid about a vertical slender hollow cylinder embedded in a porous medium with high porosity have been numerically studied. The Forchheimer’s modification of Darcy’s law was used in representing the nanofluid motion inside the porous media. The governing boundary layer equations were transformed to non-dimen...

Two-dimensional ideal magnetohydrodynamic ~MHD! simulations are presented that demonstrate several novel phenomena in MHD shock formation. The stationary symmetrical flow of a uniform, planar, field-aligned, low-b and superfast magnetized plasma around a perfectly conducting cylinder is calculated. The velocity of the incoming flow is chosen such that the formation of fast switch-on shocks is p...

Catamaran added V-like center bow (INCAT) is investigated as a wave-piercing vessel to decrease vertical acceleration and diminish slam events during sea-keeping operation. The catamaran and the vessel bow were modeled and the vertical acceleration of model was validated with experimenal test. The geometry of V-like center-bow such as slope of center bow and elevation from demi-hulls was optimi...
