نویسنده
چکیده
Numerical solution for steady MHD flow of liquid metal through a square duct under the action of strong transverse magnetic field has been investigated. The walls of the duct are considered to be electrically insulated as well as isothermal. The numerical solutions for velocity and temperature distributions have been obtained by finite difference method. The solutions for different values of Hartmann number and Prandtl number has been analyzed and are presented graphically. The MHD effect on velocity field and temperature field has been predicted in this investigation.

Numerical Study of Liquid Metal MHD Duct Flow under Hydrodynamic "Slip" Condition
A numerical study for steady MHD flow of liquid metal through a square duct with slip walls has been carried out. An intense external magnetic field is acting normal to two walls of the square duct which are considered as slip walls. The numerical solutions for velocity and induced magnetic field have been obtained by using a 5 point stencil central difference scheme. Solutions for velocity and...
متن کاملNumerical Study of turbulent free convection of liquid metal with constant and variable properties in the presence of magnetic field
In this research, turbulent MHD convection of liquid metal with constant and variable properties is investigated numerically. The finite volume method is applied to model the fluid flow and natural convection heat transfer in a square cavity. The fluid flow and heat transfer were simulated and compared for two cases constant and variable properties. It is observed that for the case variable pro...

متن کاملLocal iRBF-DQ method for MHD duct flows at high hartmann numbers
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the study of the interaction between moving, conducting fluids and magnetic fields. In this paper, the discussion is restricted to incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluids through pipes and ducts under an imposed uniform, oblique magnetic field. The MHD issues have become increasingly important because of the practical engineering applications suc...
