The direct and optimal control solution of the laminar, fully developed, steady MHD flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting fluid in a duct is considered together with the heat transfer. The flow is driven by a constant pressure gradient and an external uniform magnetic field. The fluid viscosity is either temperature dependent, varying exponentially, or it depends on the flow in the case of power law fluid; and the viscous and Joule dissipations are taken into consideration. The coupled nonlinear set of momentum and energy equations are solved by using Finite Element Method with the implementation of the Newton’s method for nonlinearity. In this respect, direct FEM solutions are obtained for various values of the problem parameters to ensure the sound structure of the underlying scheme. The FEM results obtained in this study are not only in good agreement with, but also extends, the results in [1]. The aim of this study is to investigate the problem of controlling the steady flow by using the physically significant parameters of the problem as control variables: Hartmann number (Ha), Brinkmann number (Br), Hall parameter (m) and viscosity parameter (B) in the case of temperature dependent viscosity. For the case of power law fluid the control parameters are Ha, Br and the flow index (n). The control problem is solved by the discretize-then-optimize approach [2] with a gradient based algorithm. Starting with an initial estimate the optimization loop to calculate new estimates for optimal solution repeated until the norm of the gradient of the reduced cost function is less than a predefined tolerance. Control variables are considered as single and pairwise as well. It is observed that controls with multiple control variables require relatively more number of iterations than the one with a single control parameter. The most costly one is observed as the case with the pair (m, B) since they have contrary effects on the fluid for the temperature dependent viscosity case. Numerical results ensure that the proposed control approach is effective at driving the flow to prescribed velocity profiles as well as isolines. 1. M. E. Sayed-Ahmed.

Controlling the power law fluid flow and heat transfer under the external magnetic field using the flow index and the Hartmann number Evcin, Cansu; Uğur, Ömür; Tezer, Münevver (2018-10-01) The direct and optimal control solution of laminar fully developed, steady Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) flow of an incompressible, electrically conducting power-law non-Newtonian fluid in a square duct is considered with the heat transfer. The fluid is subjected to an external uniform magnetic field as well as a constant pressure gradient. The apparent fluid viscosity is both a function of the unknown velocity and the flow index which makes the momentum equation nonlinear. Viscous and Joule dissipation terms ...

BOUNDARY-ELEMENT METHOD SOLUTION OF MHD FLOW IN A RECTANGULAR DUCT Tezer, Münevver (Wiley, 1994-05-30) The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid in a rectangular duct with an external magnetic field applied transverse to the flow has been investigated. The walls parallel to the applied magnetic field are conducting while the other two walls which are perpendicular to the field are insulators. The boundary element method (BEM) with constant elements has been used to cast the problem into the form of an integral equation over the boundary and to obtain a sy...
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...
