In this paper, the fully developed flow of an electrically non-conducting, viscous, incompressible, magnetizable fluid is investigated in rectangular pipes with square or rectangular cross-sections under the effect of spatially varying magnetic field. Magnetic field is generated by multiple wires carrying electric current that pass below and above along the pipe. Thus, the problem is reduced to the 2D flow of a magnetizable fluid in the cross-section of the pipe (cavity). Governing equations are solved in terms of the velocity and the pressure of the fluid. Stream function and axial velocity profiles are also presented. The dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is applied iteratively in obtaining numerical results. The flow behavior is approximated with a small computational expense due to the boundary only nature of DRBEM. The numerical results reveal that multiple point magnetic sources significantly influence and control the flow in cavities.

Natural convection flow of a nanofluid in an enclosure under an inclined uniform magnetic field
Tezer, Münevver; Bozkaya, Canan (2016-01-01)
In this study, the natural convection in a square enclosure filled with water-based aluminium oxide (Al2O3) under the influence of an externally applied inclined magnetic field is considered numerically. The flow is steady, two-dimensional and laminar; the nanoparticles and water are assumed to be in thermal equilibrium. The governing equations are solved in terms of stream function-vorticity-temperature using both the dual reciprocity boundary element method and the finite element method to see the influen...

In this thesis, steady, laminar, fully developed flows in pipes subjected to a point magnetic source or uniform magnetic field are simulated by the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). The Navier-Stokes and energy equations are solved in terms of the velocity, pressure and the temperature of the fluid which are all of the original variables of the problem. The missing pressure equation is derived and pressure boundary conditions are generated by a finite difference approximation and the DRBEM c...
DRBEM solutions of Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations in cavities under point source magnetic field
Senel, P.; Tezer, Münevver (2016-03-01)
This paper describes an iterative dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) for the solutions of Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations in cavities under the effect of an external point source magnetic field placed very close to the bottom. The fluid is viscous, incompressible and electrically non-conducting but magnetizable, and the flow is steady, laminar and fully developed. Both the Stokes and Navier-Stokes equations are solved in terms of velocity and pressure of the fluid by using DRBEM. Pressure b...
