Instability of the Forced Magnetohydrodynamics System at Small Reynolds Number

نویسنده

  • Ismaël Bouya
چکیده

The aim of this paper is to give a result concerning the instability properties of the solutions of forced magnetohydrodynamics equations at small but finite Reynolds numbers. These solutions are highly oscillating spatially on the scale of the underlying flow but are growing on a larger scale depending on the magnetic Reynolds number. The existence of such solutions is called α-effect in the physical litterature. We prove instability results for a dense subset of initial velocity field of the flow at given Reynolds number.

Stability analysis of stratified two-phase liquid-gas flow in a horizontal pipe

This study aimed at linear stability analysis of the stratified two-phase liquid-gas flow in a horizontal pipe. First, equations governing the linear stability of flow in each phase and boundary conditions were obtained. The governing equations were eigenvalue Orr Sommerfeld equations which are difficult and stiff problems to solve. After obtaining the velocity profiles of the gas and liquid ph...

Development length of laminar magnetohydrodynamics pipe flows

In this article, a laminar magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) developing flow of an incompressible electrically conducting fluid subjected to an external magnetic field is considered. The aim of the study is to propose a correlation for computing the development length of the laminar MHD developing flow in a pipe. A numerical approach is considered to solve the problem. In the first step, the numerical...

A NUMERICAL STUDY OF SINGLE-PHASE FORCED CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER WITH FLOW FRICTION IN MICROCHANNELS (RESEARCH NOTE)

Three-dimensional simulations of the single-phase laminar flow and forced convective heat transfer of water in microchannels with small rectangular sections having specific hydraulic diameters and distinct geometric configurations were investigated numerically. The numerical results indicated that the laminar heat transfer was to be dependent upon the aspect ratio and the ratio of the hydraulic...

Convective Heat Transfer from a Heated Rotating Disk at Arbitrary Inclination Angle in Laminar Flow

In this paper, experimental data and numerical results of heat transfer from a heated rotating disk in still air are presented over a large range of inclination angles and a dimensionless correlation is developed for forced, natural and mixed convection. The measured Nusselt number over the rotating disk is compared with the numerical results. The goal of the present research is to develop a se...

Two-dimensional Simulations of Magnetorotational Instability in a Magnetized Couette Flow

In preparation for an experimental study of magnetorotational instability (MRI) in liquid metal, we present non-ideal two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the nonlinear evolution of MRI in the experimental geometry. The simulations adopt initially uniform vertical magnetic fields, conducting or insulating radial boundaries, and periodic vertical boundary conditions. No-slip condit...
