Magnetohydrodynamic pipe flow in annular-like domains

2017-01-01
The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pipe flow in annular-like domains with electrically conducting walls is investigated using both the extended-domain-eigenfunction method (EDEM) and the boundary element method (BEM). EDEM aims to reformulate the original problem on an extended symmetric domain obtained by transforming the inner boundary to a smaller circle towards the centre of the pipe, so that an eigenfunction solution can be obtained theoretically. By collocating only the inner circular boundary, the solution is transformed back to the original inner wall, which can be regarded as a semi-theoretical solution. On the other hand, BEM is a boundary only nature technique which transforms the differential equation into a boundary integral equation using the fundamental solution of the differential equation. Calculations are carried out for increasing values of Hartmann number (M) in annular-like domains with several shapes of inner wall at various wall conductivities. It is observed that although the results obtained by EDEM and BEM are very compatible for small M, EDEM is computationally less expensive and faster in convergence compared to BEM. However, BEM gives more accurate results than EDEM for large M due to the accumulation of numerical errors close to inner boundary in EDEM.

Magnetohydrodynamic Flow in a Rectangular Duct
Bozkaya, Canan (2018-12-02)
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 M...

Physics-based modeling of sea clutter phenomenon by a full-wave numerical solver
ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2022-02-01)
The sea clutter phenomenon is investigated from a different perspective by using the finite element domain decomposition (FEDD) method, which is a full-wave numerical method based on the decomposition of the problem into sub-problems with the help of the locally-conformal perfectly matched layer (LC-PML) approach. The numerical model developed in this work provides the means to investigate the sea clutter phenomenon by a full-wave Maxwell solver, although the electrical size of computational domain is formi...
Reference-plane-invariant waveguide method for electromagnetic characterization of bi-axial bianisotropic metamaterials
HASAR, UĞUR CEM; Yildiz, Gul; BUTE, MUSA; Muratoğlu, Abdurrahim (2018-11-01)
In this paper, we investigate a reference-plane invariant (RPI) method for electromagnetic property extraction of bi-axial bianisotropic metamaterial (MM) slabs. In order to obtain unique properties, we applied the frequency varying technique in order to determine the location of the slab within its cell. For validation of the proposed method, we first simulated and then measured scattering parameters of a MM slab constructed by split-ring-resonators, next extracted its electromagnetic properties, and final...
