In this study, the MHD flow of an electrically conducting fluid is considered in a long channel (pipe) of rectangular cross-section along with the z-axis. The fluid is driven by a pressure gradient along the z-axis. The flow is steady, laminar, fully-developed and is influenced by an external magnetic field applied perpendicular to the channel axis. So, the velocity field V=(0,0,V) and the magnetic field B=(0, B_{0}, B) have only channel-axis components V and B depending only on the plane coordinates x and y on the cross-section of the channel which is a rectangular duct. The finite difference method (FDM) is used to solve the governing equations with several type of boundary conditions such as slip or no-slip velocity V(x,y) and conducting, insulated or partly conducting/partly insulated side walls for B(x,y). The numerical solutions for each case of boundary conditions are simulated in terms of equivelocity contours and current lines. The effects of the slip and the wall conductivities on the behavior of the velocity V and the induced magnetic field B are investigated to see their physical effects on the solution mostly. Also, the numerical results obtained from the FDM discretized equations and the exact solution values are shown on the same figure for no-slip and insulated walls to see the coincidence with the exact results and we obtain the accuracy at least 10^(-2). Thus, the FDM which is simple to implement, enables one to depict the physical effects of the slip and wall conductivities on the behavior of both the velocity and the induced magnetic field at a small expense.

Fdm solution of mhd flow in a rectangular duct with slipping and partly insulated partly conducting side walls Arslan, Sinem; Tezer, Münevver (IOP Publishing; 2019-01-01) The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an electrically conducting fluid is considered in a long channel (pipe) of rectangular cross-section in which the fluid is driven by a pressure gradient and the flow is steady, laminar, fully -developed. The flow is influenced by an external uniform magnetic field applied perpendicular to the channel-axis. Thus, the velocity field (V) over right arrow = (0, 0, V) and the magnetic field (B) triple over dot = (0, B-0, B) have only channel-axis components V and B on the cr...
Numerical solution of buoyancy MHD flow with magnetic potential Pekmen, B.; Tezer, Münevver (2014-04-01) In this study, dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) is applied for solving the unsteady flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid in channels under the effect of an externally applied magnetic field and buoyancy force. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations are coupled with the energy equation due to the heat transfer by means of the Boussinessq approximation. Then, the 20 non-dimensional full MHD equations in terms of stream function, temperature, magnetic potential, curren...
Convergence, stability, and numerical solution of unsteady free convection magnetohydrodynamical flow between two slipping plates Arslan, Sinem (2021-09-01) In this study, the unsteady free convection magnetohydrodynamical flow of a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting fluid between two horizontally directed slipping plates is considered. The external magnetic filed is applied uniformly in the y-direction and the fluid is assumed to be of low conductivity so that the induced magnetic field is negligible. So the relevant variables, that is, the velocity and the temperature, depend only on one coordinate, the y-axis. The governing equations of vel...
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...
