Parametric study of main flow characteristics in magnetohydrodynamic flow in the exit pipe from a liquid metal blanket has been performed. The flow in such a duct occurs in a nonuniform, decreasing magnetic field. The duct wall is electrically conducting. The wall conductance ratio, c, and the gradient of the field, γ, have been varied in a wide r…
Parametric study of liquid metal flow in a conducting rectangular duct in a strong, decreasing magnetic field has been performed. Parameters such as the wall conductance ratio, c, the field gradient,
Mixed convection of an electrically conductive fluid in a square duct with imposed transverse magnetic field is studied using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) paradigms. The duct walls are electrically conductive, with the wall conductivity parameter cw ranging from 0 to 0.5. The Reynolds number is Re = 5602 and the Prandtl number is Pr = 0.0238. The fo…
