An Analytic Study of the Reversal of Hartmann Flows by Rotating Magnetic Fields

نویسنده

  • Manuel Núñez
چکیده

The effects of a background uniform rotating magnetic field acting in a conducting fluid with a parallel flow are studied analytically. The stationary version with a transversal magnetic field is well known as generating Hartmann boundary layers. The Lorentz force includes now one term depending on the rotation speed and the distance to the boundary wall. As one intuitively expects, the rotation ofmagnetic field lines pushes backwards or forwards the flow. One consequence is that near the wall the flowwill eventually reverse its direction, provided the rate of rotation and/or the magnetic field are large enough. The configuration could also describe a fixed magnetic field and a rotating flow.

Effect of Magnetic Field on the Rotating Flow in a Similar Czochralski Configuration

We present a numerical study of the rotating flow generated by two rotating disks in co-/counter-rotating, inside a fixed cylindrical enclosure similar to the Czochralski configuration (Cz).  The enclosure having an aspect ratio A = H/Rc equal to 2, filled with a low Prandtl number fluid (Pr = 0.011), which is submitted to a vertical temperature gradient. The finite volume method has been used ...

Flow simulation of gallium in a cylindrical annulus in the presence of a magnetic field for improving the casting process

Free convection flow in an enclosure filled with a congealing melt leads to the product with a nonuniform structure involving large grains. The convective flows are decreased by applying an appropriate magnetic field, obtaining uniform and small grain structures. In this work, using the finite volume method, we investigated the application of a magnetic field to the convective heat transfer and...

Development length of laminar magnetohydrodynamics pipe flows

In this article, a laminar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) developing flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid subjected to an external magnetic field is considered. The aim of the study is to propose a correlation for computing the development length of the laminar MHD developing flow in a pipe. A numerical approach is considered to solve the problem. In the first step, the numerical...
