Modeling infinite/axisymmetric liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic free surface flows
Over the past several years, as part of the Advanced Power Extraction (APEX) project, liquid metal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) film and jet flows have been modeled using the assumption of axisymmetry to simplify the governing equations to a more tractable two-dimensional (2D) form. The results of these 2D simulations as they pertain to liquid wall and divertor flows is presented here. The effect ...
متن کاملA liquid metal flume for free surface magnetohydrodynamic experiments.
We present an experiment designed to study magnetohydrodynamic effects in free surface channel flow. The wide aspect ratio channel (the width to height ratio is about 15) is completely enclosed in an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidization of the liquid metal. A custom-designed pump reduces entrainment of oxygen, which was found to be a problem with standard centrifugal and gear pumps. Laser Do...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Liquid- Gas Free Surface Flows
A model for the simulation of complex three-dimensional free surface flows is presented. An incompressible liquid interacts with a compressible gas. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are solved only in the liquid domain while the dynamical effects in the gas are neglected. The compressibility effects of the gas are taken into account by computing its pressure. Surface tension effects a...
متن کاملAnalysis and Finite Element Simulation of Mhd Flows, with an Application to Liquid Metal Processing
We present a novel approach to the mathematical analysis and computational simulation of fully three-dimensional, nonlinear, viscous, incompressible MHD flow in complex configurations involving several liquid and solid conductors. Such configurations arise in numerous metallurgical processes. Employing the current density rather than the magnetic field as the primary electromagnetic variable, i...
متن کاملA numerical algorithm for MHD of free surface flows at low magnetic Reynolds numbers
We have developed a numerical algorithm and computational software for the study of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) of free surface flows at low magnetic Reynolds numbers. The governing system of equations is a coupled hyperbolic/elliptic system in moving and geometrically complex domains. The numerical algorithm employs the method of front tracking for material interfaces, high resolution hyperboli...
