This study considers the steady flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid in a lid-driven square cavity under the effect of a uniform horizontally applied magnetic field. The governing equations are obtained from the Navier-Stokes equations including buoyancy and Lorentz force terms and the energy equation including Joule heating and viscous dissipation terms. These equations are solved iteratively in terms of velocity components, stream function, vorticity, temperature, and pressure by using radial basis function approximation. Particular solution, which is approximated by radial basis functions to satisfy both differential equation and boundary conditions, becomes the solution of the differential equation itself. Vorticity boundary conditions are obtained from stream function equation using finite difference scheme. Normal derivative of pressure is taken as zero on the boundary. The numerical results are obtained for several values of Hartmann number and Grashof number for the Stokes approximation (Re<<1). The results show that when the viscous dissipation is present, the flow and isolines concentrate through the cold wall forming boundary layers as Grashof number increases. An increase in the magnetic field intensity retards the effect of buoyancy force in the square cavity, whereas the movement of the upper lid causes buoyancy force to be dominant. The solution is obtained in a considerably low computational expense through the use of radial basis function approximations for the MHD equations. Copyright (c) 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

RBF Solution of Incompressible MHD Convection Flow in a Pipe Gürbüz, Merve; Tezer, Münevver (2016-10-12) The steady convection flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid is considered in a lid-driven cavity under the effect of a uniform horizontally applied magnetic field. The governing equations are the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid dynamics including buoyancy and Lorentz forces and the energy equation including Joule heating and viscous dissipation. These coupled equations are solved iteratively in terms of velocity components, stream function, vorticity, pressure and temperature ...
Numerical Solution of MHD Incompressible Convection Flow in Channels Gurbuz, Merve; Tezer, Münevver (2019-1-01) The purpose of this paper is to study numerically the influence of the magnetic field, buoyancy force and viscous dissipation on the convective flow and temperature of the fluid in a square cavity, lid-driven cavity, and lid-driven cavity with an obstacle at the center. The continuity, momentum and energy equations are coupled including buoyancy and magnetic forces, and energy equation contains Joule heating and viscous dissipation. The equations are solved in terms of stream function, vorticity and tempera...
MHD natural convection flow in a porous cavity Bozkaya, Canan (null; 2018-09-13) A numerical investigation of natural convection flow in a cavity filled with a fluid-saturated porous medium in the presence of uniform magnetic field is performed. The steady, viscous, incompressible flow inside the porous medium is assumed to obey the Darcy law. The fluid physical properties are constant except the density in the body force term which is treated according to Boussinesq approximation. The fluid and porous medium are in thermal equilibrium. The governing equations subject to appropriate bou...
Radial basis function and dual reciprocity boundary element solutions of fluid dynamics problems Gürbüz, Merve; Tezer Sezgin, Münevver; Department of Mathematics (2017) In this thesis, the two-dimensional, laminar steady or unsteady flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid is considered in channels of several geometries under the impact of a uniform magnetic field with different orientations. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow governed by the hydrodynamic and electromagnetic equations is solved numerically with or without Stokes approximation and with or without magnetic induction due to the large or small values of Reynolds and magnetic Reynolds number...
MHD convection flow in a constricted channel Tezer, Münevver (OVIDIUS UNIV PRESS, OVIDIUS UNIV, FAC MATHEMATICS & INFO, BD MAMAIA 124, CONSTANTA, 900527, ROMANIA, 2018-01-01) We consider the steady, laminar, convection flow in a long channel of 2D rectangular constricted cross-section under the influence of an applied magnetic field. The Navier-Stokes equations including Lorentz and buoyancy forces are coupled with the temperature equation and are solved by using linear radial basis function (RBF) approximations in terms of the velocity, pressure and the temperature of the fluid. RBFs are used in the approximation of the particular solution which becomes also the approximate sol...
