Optimal control of the unsteady, laminar, fully developed flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid is considered under the effect of a time varying magnetic field B0(t) applied in the direction making an angle with the y–axis. Thus, the coefficients of convection terms in the Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations are also time-dependent. The coupled time-dependent MHD equations are solved by using the mixed finite element method (FEM) in space and the implicit Euler scheme in time. FEM solutions are obtained for various values of the Hartmann number, Reynolds number, magnetic Reynolds number and for several types of time dependence of applied magnetic field at transient level and steady-state. In this study, we aim to control the unsteady MHD flow by using the time varying coefficient function f(t) in the applied magnetic field B0(t)=B0f(t) as a control function. In addition, control problem is designed to involve the determination of the optimal parameters of the system (Reynolds number, magnetic Reynolds number and the angle θ) regarded as control variables. In the optimization, a discretize-then-optimize approach with a gradient based algorithm is followed. Cost function is designed to regain the prescribed velocity and induced magnetic field profiles as well as the smooth control function with respect to time. Controls are investigated for the regularization parameters included in the cost function. Optimal solutions are achieved for several states of the flow considering Hartmann number and at the time level where the flow stabilizes.

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 ...

Determining the optimal parameters for the MHD flow and heat transfer with variable viscosity and Hall effect EVCİN, CANSU; Uğur, Ömür; Tezer, Münevver (2018-09-15) 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 temperature dependent varying exponentially and the Hall effect, viscous and Joule dissipations are taken into consideration. The control problem is solved by the discretize-then-optimize approach usi...
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 ...
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 ...
