We present the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) solution to magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a single and two parallel ducts which are separated by conducting walls of arbitrary thickness in the direction of external magnetic field. The DRBEM discretized coupled MHD convection-diffusion equations in the ducts and the Laplace equations on the shared walls are solved as a whole by using constant boundary elements with the coupled induced current wall conditions. It is shown that, the conducting walls in the double ducts have a strong influence on the currents near the walls, and the core flow increases on the co-flow case but there is a strong reduction in the core flow in the counter-flow case. The coupling between the ducts with conducting thick walls induces reversed flow and counter current flows which may be used for the heat and mass transfer in fusion applications. The proposed numerical scheme using DRBEM captures the well-known MHD flow characteristics when Hartmann number increases.

DRBEM solution to MHD flow in ducts with thin slipping side walls and separated by conducting thick Hartmann walls
Senel, P.; Tezer-Sezgin, M. (Elsevier BV, 2019-11-01)
In this study, the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) solution to magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow is given in a single and two ducts stacked in the direction of external magnetic field. The duct walls perpendicular to the applied magnetic field (Hartmann walls) are conducting, thick and no-slip whereas the horizontal walls (side walls) are insulated, thin and allow the velocity slip. The DRBEM transforms the convection diffusion type MHD equations in the duct and Laplace equation in the thick w...
DRBEM solution of free convection in porous enclosures under the effect of a magnetic field
Pekmen, B.; Tezer, Münevver (2013-01-01)
The dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is applied for solving steady free convection in special shape enclosures filled with a fluid saturated porous medium under the effect of a magnetic field. The left and right walls are maintained at constant or different temperatures while the top and bottom walls are kept adiabatic. The effect of the external magnetic field on the flow and temperature behavior is visualized with different Rayleigh numbers Ra, Hartmann numbers Ha and inclination angle phi...
DRBEM and DQM solutions of natural convection flow in a cavity under a magnetic field
Alsoy-Akgun, N.; Tezer, Münevver (Inderscience Publishers, 2013-01-01)
The dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) and the differential quadrature method (DQM) are applied to solve the 2D, unsteady natural convection flow in enclosures under an externally applied magnetic field. Vorticity transport and energy equations are transformed to modified Helmholtz equations by utilising forward difference with relaxation parameters for the time derivatives, and approximating also Laplacian terms at two consecutive time levels. Thus, the need of another time integration scheme...
DRBEM Solution of MHD Flow and Electric Potential in a Rectangular Pipe with a Moving Lid
Tezer, Münevver; Bozkaya, Canan (2015-09-18)
We present the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) solution of the system of equations which model magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a pipe with moving lid at low magnetic Reynolds number. The external magnetic field acts in the pipe-axis direction generating the electric potential. The solution is obtained in terms of stream function, vorticity and electric potential in the cross-section of the pipe, and the pipe axis velocity is also computed under a constant pressure gradient. It is found th...
DRBEM solutions of cauchy problem for the magnetohydrodynamic duct flow
Aydın, Cemre; Tezer-Sezgin, Münevver,; Department of Mathematics (2020)
In this thesis, the direct and inverse problems of the MHD flow in rectangular ducts are solved in terms of the velocity of the fluid and the induced magnetic field by using the Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method (DRBEM). The two-dimensional, steady flow of a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid is considered under the effect of an externally applied mangetic field. The duct wall conditions for the MHD flow ranges from the no-slip to slip and insulated to perfectly conducting. In...
