The two-dimensional unsteady, laminar flow of a viscous, Newtonian, incompressible and electrically conducting biofluid in a channel with a stenosis, under the influence of a spatially varying magnetic field, is considered. The mathematical modeling of the problem results in a coupled nonlinear system of equations and is given in stream function-vorticity-temperature formulation for the numerical treatment. These equations together with their appropriate boundary conditions are solved iteratively using the finite element method for the spatial discretization, and an unconditionally stable backward difference scheme is employed for the time integration. The numerical results obtained are illustrated using streamlines, vorticity and temperature contours. The behavior of the biofluid along the thin channel is investigated for a symmetric stenosis of degrees 40% and 60%, with a magnetic source placed below the lower plate. The results indicate that the flow is appreciably affected by the presence of stenosis and the magnetic source in terms of vortices. The lengths of the vortices and the temperature increase with increase in the intensity of the magnetic field and the degree of the constriction.

Finite element method solution of electrically driven magnetohydrodynamic flow Nesliturk, AI; Tezer, Münevver (Elsevier BV, 2006-08-01) The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a rectangular duct is investigated for the case when the flow is driven by the current produced by electrodes, placed one in each of the walls of the duct where the applied magnetic field is perpendicular, The flow is steady, laminar and the fluid is incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting. A stabilized finite element with the residual-free bubble (RFB) functions is used for solving the governing equations. The finite element method employing the RFB functio...
The boundary element solution of the magnetohydrodynamic flow in an infinite region Tezer, Münevver; Bozkaya, Canan (Elsevier BV, 2009-03-15) We consider the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow which is laminar, steady and incompressible, of a viscous and electrically conducting fluid on the half plane (y >= 0). The boundary y = 0 is partly insulated and partly perfectly conducting. An external circuit is connected so that current enters the fluid at discontinuity points through external circuits and moves up on the plane. The flow is driven by the interaction of imposed electric currents and a uniform, transverse magnetic field applied perpendicular ...
Exact and FDM solutions of 1D MHD flow between parallel electrically conducting and slipping plates Arslan, Sinem; Tezer, Münevver (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-08-01) In this study, the steady, laminar, and fully developed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow is considered in a long channel along with the z-axis under an external magnetic field which is perpendicular to the channel axis. The fluid velocity u and the induced magnetic field b depend on the plane coordinates x and y on the cross-section of the channel. When the lateral channel walls are extended to infinity, the problem turns out to be MHD flow between two parallel plates (Hartmann flow). Now, the variations of u...
ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN FLOWS IN MHD WITH MIXED ELECTROMAGNETIC BOUNDARY-CONDITIONS Tezer, Münevver; ARIEL, PD (Wiley, 1988-01-01) Flow of viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid, driven by imposed electric currents has been investigated in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The boundary perpendicular to the magnetic field is perfectly conducting partly along its length. Three cases have been considered: a) flow in the upper half plane when the boundary to the right of origin is insulating and that to the left is perfectly conducting, b) flow in the upper half plane when a finite length of the boundary is perfe...
Streamwise oscillations of a cylinder beneath a free surface: Free surface effects on vortex formation modes Bozkaya, Canan; Mironova, L. A.; Gubanov, O. I. (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-15) A computational study of a viscous incompressible two-fluid model with an oscillating cylinder is investigated at a Reynolds number of 200 and at a dimensionless displacement amplitude of A = 0.13 and for the dimensionless forcing cylinder oscillation frequency-to-natural vortex shedding frequency ratios, f/f(0) = 1.5, 2.5, 3.5. Specifically, two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder subject to forced in-line oscillations beneath a free surface is considered. The method is based on a finite volume discr...
