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 functions is capable of resolving high gradients near the layer regions without refining the mesh. Thus, it is possible to obtain solutions consistent with the physical configuration of the problem even for high values of the Hartmann number. Before employing the bubble functions in the global problem, we have to find them inside each element by means of a local problem. This is achieved by approximating the bubble functions by a nonstandard finite element method based on the local problem. Equivelocity and current lines are drawn to show the well-known behaviours of the MHD flow. Those are the boundary layer formation close to the insulated walls for increasing values of the Hartmann number and the layers emanating from the endpoints of the electrodes. The changes in direction and intensity with respect to the values of wall inductance are also depicted in terms of level curves for both the velocity and the induced magnetic field.

Finite element study of biomagnetic fluid flow in a symmetrically stenosed channel Turk, O.; Tezer, Münevver; Bozkaya, Canan (Elsevier BV, 2014-03-15) 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 ...
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 ...
Boundary element method solution of magnetohydrodynamic flow in a rectangular duct with conducting walls parallel to applied magnetic field Tezer, Münevver; Bozkaya, Canan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-03-01) The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid in a rectangular duct with one conducting and one insulating pair of opposite walls under an external magnetic field parallel to the conducting walls, is investigated. The MHD equations are coupled in terms of velocity and magnetic field and cannot be decoupled with conducting wall boundary conditions since then boundary conditions are coupled and involve an unknown function. The boundary element method (BEM) is ...
Solution of magnetohydrodynamic flow problems using the boundary element method Tezer, Münevver (Elsevier BV, 2006-05-01) A boundary element solution is implemented for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow problem in ducts with several geometrical cross-section with insulating walls when a uniform magnetic field is imposed perpendicular to the flow direction. The coupled velocity and induced magnetic field equations are first transformed into uncoupled inhomogeneous convection-diffusion type equations. After introducing particular solutions, only the homogeneous equations are solved by using boundary element method (BEM). The fundam...
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...
