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 solution of the problem. Results are obtained for several values of Grashof number (Gr), Hartmann number (M) and the constriction ratios (CR) to see the effects on the flow and isotherms for fixed values of Reynolds number and Prandtl number. As M increases, the flow is flattened. An increase in Gr increases the magnitude of the flow in the channel. Isolines undergo an inversion at the center of the channel indicating convection dominance due to the strong buoyancy force, but this inversion is retarded with the increase in the strength of the applied magnetic field. When both Hartmann number and constriction ratio are increased, flow is divided into more loops symmetrically with respect to the axes.

FEM solution to natural convection flow of a micropolar nanofluid in the presence of a magnetic field TÜRK, ÖNDER; Tezer, Münevver (2017-03-01) The two-dimensional, laminar, unsteady natural convection flow in a square enclosure filled with aluminum oxide ()-water nanofluid under the influence of a magnetic field, is considered numerically. The nanofluid is considered as Newtonian and incompressible, the nanoparticles and water are assumed to be in thermal equilibrium. The mathematical modelling results in a coupled nonlinear system of partial differential equations. The equations are solved using finite element method (FEM) in space, whereas, the ...
Numerical Solution and Stability Analysis of Transient MHD Duct Flow Tezer, Münevver (2018-11-01) This paper simulates the 2D transient magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a rectangular duct in terms of the velocity of the fluid and the induced magnetic field by using the radial basis function (RBF) approximation. The inhomogeneities in the Poisson’s type MHD equations are approximated using the polynomial functions (1+r) and the particular solution is found satisfying both the equations and the boundary conditions (no-slip and insulated walls). The Euler scheme is used for advancing the solution to ste...
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 ...
MHD Stokes flow and heat transfer in a lid-driven square cavity under horizontal magnetic field Gurbuz, Merve; Tezer, Münevver (2018-04-01) 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 pressu...
Stabilizing subgrid FEM solution of the natural convection flow under high magnitude magnetic field on sinusoidal corrugated enclosure Aydın, S. H.; Tezer, Münevver (Informa UK Limited, 2019-7-7) This study deals with the stabilized finite element solution of the steady, natural convection flow in an enclosure under a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the sinusoidal corrugated vertical walls of the enclosure, in terms of primitive variables. Several vertical sinusoidal functions are selected for the comparison. A stabilized FEM scheme called SSM is proposed in order to obtain a stable solution for the high values of problem parameters with a cheap computational cost. Proposed numerical scheme ...
