FEM solution of MHD flow im rectangular ducts with different wall conductivities and slip conditions

2017-05-31
This paper presents numerical solution of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow in a rectangular duct under several combinations of insulated and perfectly conducting, and partly insulated partly conducting walls with Hartmann walls or side walls or all the walls exhibiting slip. A uniform magnetic field is applied horizontally and the flow is driven by a constant pressure gradient. The finite element method (FEM) is used with SUPG stabilization to obtain the velocity and the induced magnetic field for Hartmann number values M ≤ 100 and for several values of slip length. It is found that as M increases the well-known MHD characteristics are observed as the flattening of the flow and the enlargement of the core region (fluid is stagnant). As the slip length increases, velocity of the fluid increases, the core region gets smaller and the slip is more pronounced when the slip ratio ≥ 1. When the Hartmann walls exhibit slip and are insulated, side layers become thicker than the ones obtained in no-slip Hartmann walls. However, conducting Hartmann walls weakened the slip velocity and the Hartmann layers considerably for large values of Hartmann number. When the side walls are insulated and exhibit slip, flow is concentrated symmetrically in front of the side walls whereas conducting Hartmann walls result in weakened Hartmann layers. In partly insulated partly conducting Hartmann walls, the main flow is concentrated between the parabolic layers emanating from the points of conductivity changes.

Boundary element method solution of magnetohydrodynamic flow in a rectangular duct with conducting walls parallel to applied magnetic field
Tezer, Münevver; Bozkaya, Canan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2008-03-01)
The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid in a rectangular duct with one conducting and one insulating pair of opposite walls under an external magnetic field parallel to the conducting walls, is investigated. The MHD equations are coupled in terms of velocity and magnetic field and cannot be decoupled with conducting wall boundary conditions since then boundary conditions are coupled and involve an unknown function. The boundary element method (BEM) is ...
Seismic strengthening of a mid-rise reinforced concrete frame using CFRPs: an application from real life
Tan, Mustafa Tümer; Özcebe, Güney; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
FRP retrofitting allows the utilization of brick infill walls as lateral load resisting elements. This practical retrofit scheme is a strong alternative to strengthen low to mid-rise deficient reinforced concrete (RC) structures in Turkey. The advantages of the FRP applications, to name a few, are the speed of construction and elimination of the need for building evacuation during construction. In this retrofit scheme, infill walls are adopted to the existing frame system by using FRP tension ties anchored ...
Cyclic Testing of Reinforced Concrete Double Walls
ALDEMİR, ALPER; Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem (2017-03-01)
Reinforced concrete double walls are semi-precast structural elements constructed with factory-produced concrete shells on two exterior sides and cast-in-place concrete in the middle of the section. Their use has been limited in seismic zones due to the difficulty of connecting the adjacent double walls for monolithic action, and providing suitable seismic details in the presence of the lattice girder that is used to hold the concrete shells together. These limitations were overcome with the invention of di...
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...
