As was already observed experimentally, the erosion of tungsten (W) coated graphite (C) tiles in ASDEX-Upgrade exhibit regular erosion patterns on the m rough surfaces who’s origin is not fully understood: Surfaces inclined towards the magnetic field direction show strong net W erosion while surfaces facing away from the magnetic field are shadowed from erosion and may even exhibit net W deposi...

A numerical study is performed to analysis the buoyancy convection induced by the parallel heated baffles in an inclined square cavity. The two side walls of the cavity are maintained at a constant temperature. A uniformly thin heated plate is placed at the centre of the cavity. The horizontal top and bottom walls are adiabatic. Numerical solutions of governing equations are obtained using the ...

In the present study, consider an influence of chemical reaction on an unsteady MHD free convective, viscous dissipative Casson fluid flow over a vertically inclined plate in presence of magnetic field, heat and mass transfer. The modeling equations are converted to dimensionless equations, then solved through finite element technique. Computations were performed to analyze the behavior of flui...

At the surface of the Sun acoustic waves appear to be affected by the presence of strong magnetic fields in active regions. We explore the possibility that the inclined magnetic field in sunspot penumbrae may convert primarily vertically propagating acoustic waves into elliptical motion. We use helioseismic holography to measure the modulus and phase of the correlation between incoming acoustic...

The critical state of the vortex lattice in a thin strip is considered for the case when first a perpendicular magnetic field is applied, then a longitudinal field, and then again the perpendicular field is increased. This longitudinal field can strongly enhance the critical currents in the strip since the vortices are inclined and the currents flow in the strip plane.

Dispersion of super-paramagnetic nanoparticles in nonmagnetic carrier fluids, known as ferrofluids, offers the advantages of tunable thermo-physical properties and eliminate the need for moving parts to induce flow. This study investigates ferrofluid flow characteristics in an inclined channel under inclined magnetic field and constant pressure gradient. The ferrofluid considered in this work i...
