Fdm solution of mhd flow in a rectangular duct with slipping and partly insulated partly conducting side walls

2019-01-01
The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an electrically conducting fluid is considered in a long channel (pipe) of rectangular cross-section in which the fluid is driven by a pressure gradient and the flow is steady, laminar, fully -developed. The flow is influenced by an external uniform magnetic field applied perpendicular to the channel-axis. Thus, the velocity field (V) over right arrow = (0, 0, V) and the magnetic field (B) triple over dot = (0, B-0, B) have only channel-axis components V and B on the cross-section of the channel which is a rectangular duct. The finite difference method (FDM) is used for solving the governing equations with the boundary conditions which include both the slipping and variably conducting side walls. The well-known characteristics of the MHD flow including the slipping velocity are observed. Thus, the FDM enables one to depict the effects of Hartmann number, conductivity and slip parameters on the behavior of both the velocity of the fluid and the induced magnetic field at a small expense.

Tanisli, Murat; Rafatov, İsmail; Sahin, Neslihan; Mertadam, Sercan; Demir, Suleyman (Canadian Science Publishing, 2017-02-01)
In this study, the characteristic properties and plasma parameters of capacitive radio frequency (RF) argon (Ar) discharge and supplementary discharge at low pressure are investigated with optical emission spectroscopy (OES). The wavelengths of spectral lines from OES are obtained between 650-900 nm. Using OES lines and related experimental data, the electron temperatures for different RF power, flow, and measurement periods are determined. Eventually, the properties of plasma including the electron tempera...
Nonlinear mode coupling and sheared flow in a rotating plasma
Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Choi, S.; Clary, M. R.; Ellis, R. F.; Hassam, A. B.; Teodorescu, C. (IOP Publishing, 2009-01-01)
Shear flow is expected to stabilize the broad spectrum of interchange modes in rotating plasmas. However, residual fluctuations may still persist. To investigate the presence of such fluctuations, sixteen magnetic pickup coils equally spaced on a crown have been mounted inside the vacuum vessel, at the edge of a rotating plasma in mirror configuration. A comprehensive analysis of the magnetic fluctuations shows that very low spatial mode numbers survive under the imposed shear flow. Nevertheless, temporal F...
Finite Difference Solutions of 2D Magnetohydrodynamic Channel Flow in a Rectangular Duct
Arslan, Sinem (2019-10-04)
In this study, the MHD flow of an electrically conducting fluid is considered in a long channel (pipe) of rectangular cross-section along with the z-axis. The fluid is driven by a pressure gradient along the z-axis. The flow is steady, laminar, fully-developed and is influenced by an external magnetic field applied perpendicular to the channel axis. So, the velocity field V=(0,0,V) and the magnetic field B=(0, B_{0}, B) have only channel-axis components V and B depending only on the plane coordinates x an...
MHD flow in a circular pipe with arbitrarily conducting slipping walls
Senel, P.; Tezer, Münevver (2018-08-31)
In this study, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow is simulated in a circular pipe with slipping and arbitrarily conducting boundary. The 2D governing coupled equations in terms of the velocity and the induced magnetic field are solved by the Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Method (DRBEM). The discretized system of equations is solved in one stroke without introducing an iteration which reduces the computational cost. It is shown that, the flow decelerates, Hartmann layers enlarge through the top and the b...
Spatial variations of non-uniform argon glow discharge
Akbar, D.; Bilikmen, S.; Akbar, H. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-01-01)
The spatial variation of a non-uniform glow discharge due to the different diameters of the same discharge tube on the plasma parameters is attracting a considerable attention. For this reason the fundamental spatial plasma parameters of an argon. glow discharge have been measured by using fast three couple of Langmuir double probe (TCDP) technique. The orbital motion limited (OML) theory has been used, since the probe radius is smaller than Debye length xi < 1. The axial and radial variation of the electro...
