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 and very small time increment is eliminated. Inhomogeneities in modified Helmholtz equations are approximated with two types of radial basis functions. Solutions are obtained with both DRBEM and DQM for Ra and Ha values up to 10(6) and 300; respectively, and compared. DRBEM and DQM give almost the same accuracy, but DQM uses considerably small number of grid points resulting with less computational work.

DRBEM SOLUTION OF THE NATURAL CONVECTIVE FLOW OF MICROPOLAR FLUIDS Gumgum, S.; Tezer, Münevver (Informa UK Limited, 2010-01-01) The main purpose of this article is to present the use of the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) in the analysis of the unsteady natural convective flow of micropolar fluids in a differentially heated rectangular cavity. The finite-difference method (FDM) is used for time discretization. All the convective terms and vorticity boundary condition are evaluated in terms of DRBEM coordinate matrix. Solutions are obtained for several values of microstructure parameter (k), Rayleigh number (Ra), and...
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...
FEM solution of MHD flow in an array of electromagnetically coupled rectangular ducts Tezer-Sezgin, M.; Aydin, S. Han (Inderscience Publishers, 2020-01-01) The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an electrically conducting fluid is studied in an array of identical parallel ducts stacked in the direction of external magnetic field and are separated by conducting walls of arbitrary thickness. Such arrangement of electromagnetically coupled ducts arises in fusion blanket applications in which a liquid metal is used both as coolant and tritium generation. The finite element method (FEM) with SUPG stabilisation is used for solving the set of coupled MHD equations. Nu...
DRBEM Solution of MHD Flow in an Array of Electromagnetically Coupled Rectangular Ducts Tezer, Münevver; ŞENEL, PELİN (2019-01-01) 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 conducti...
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...
