The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid in a rectangular duct with insulated and perfectly conducting walls is investigated numerically in the presence of hydrodynamic slip. The flow is fully developed and driven by a constant pressure gradient in the axial direction under the effect of an externally applied uniform and inclined magnetic field. A direct boundary element method (BEM) using a fundamental solution which enables to treat the governing MHD flow equations in their original coupled form is employed and the validity of the code is also ascertained. The numerical simulations are carried out for several values of slip length, Hartmann number and the inclination angle of the external magnetic field. It is well-observed from the equivelocity and induced current lines that the velocity increases through the duct and the Hartmann layers weaken while the side layers become thicker with an increase in slip length especially at low values of Hartmann number irrespective of the conductivity of the walls.

Magnetohydrodynamic Flow in a Rectangular Duct Bozkaya, Canan (2017-08-25) The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid in a rectangular duct with insulated and perfectly conducting walls is investigated numerically in the presence of hydrodynamic slip. The flow is fully developed and driven by a constant pressure gradient in the axial direction under the effect of an externally applied uniform and inclined magnetic field.

Effect of boundary conditions on magnetohydrodynamics duct flow Bozkaya, Canan (2017-12-01) The magnetohydrodynamic flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid is investigated numerically in a channel of either rectangular or semi-infinite cross-section with several types of boundary conditions involving walls of variable conductivity in the presence of hydrodynamic slip. The flow is fully developed and driven by a constant pressure gradient in the axial direction under a uniform external inclined magnetic field. The governing differential equations coupled in velocity and...
The application of BEM to MHD flow and heat transfer in a rectangular duct with temperature dependent viscosity Ebren Kaya, Elif; Tezer, Münevver ( EC LTD.; 2018-07-11) The steady, laminar, fully developed MHD flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting fluid with temperature dependent viscosity is studied in a rectangular duct together with its heat transfer. Although the induced magnetic field is neglected due to the small Reynolds number, the Hall effect, viscous and Joule dissipations are taken into consideration. The momentum equation for the pipe-axis velocity and the energy equation are solved iteratively. Firstly, the momentum equation is solved by using the...
BEM solution of MHD flow in a pipe coupled with magnetic induction of exterior region Tezer, Münevver (2013-05-01) In this paper, numerical solutions are presented for the MHD flow in a pipe surrounded by an electrically conducting medium, and under the influence of a transverse magnetic field. The boundary element method is used which discretizes only the pipe wall and is suitable for the infinite exterior region. Coupled MHD equations for the velocity and induced magnetic field inside the pipe, and the induced magnetic field equation for the outside medium are solved simultaneously taking into account also coupled bou...
Magnetohydrodynamic convection of Cu-water nanofluid in a square cavity with a circular cylinder Bozkaya, Canan (2016-01-01) The hydromagnetic free convection of a Cu-water nanofluid in a square cavity involving an adiabatic circular cylinder is numerically investigated in the presence of an inclined uniform magnetic field. The left and right walls of the cavity are kept at constant hot and cold temperatures, respectively, while the horizontal walls are assumed to be adiabatic. The coupled nonlinear equations of mass, momentum and energy governing the present problem are discretized using the dual reciprocity boundary element met...
