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...

We present the critical conditions for hot trans-fast magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) flows in a stationary and axisymmetric black-hole magnetosphere. To accrete onto the black hole, the MHD flow injected from a plasma source with low velocity must pass through the fast magnetosonic point after passing through the “inner” or “outer” Alfvén point. We find that a trans-fast MHD accretion solution rel...

For understanding the structure of an MHD-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI) in a non-linear stage, we have performed two-dimensional two-fluid simulations including finite electron inertial effects. In the twofluid system, magnetic reconnection occurs spontaneously because the ’frozen-in’ condition can be broken by the electron inertial effects. When an MHD-scale velocity shear exists, a...

An attempt is made for the first time to solve the quadratic and cubic model of magneto hydrodynamic Poiseuille flow of Phan-Thein-Tanner (PTT). A series solution of magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) flow is developed by using homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The results are presented graphically and the effects of non-dimensional parameters on the flow field are analyzed. The results reveal many i...

It is found that new channels of energy exchange between macro- and microscopic dynamics exist in plasmas. They are induced by macroscopic plasma flow. This finding is based on the kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory, which analyses interaction between macroscopic (MHD-scale) motion and microscopic (particle-scale) dynamics. The kinetic-MHD theory is extended to include effects of macrosco...

A simple, compact, and systematic derivation is given of the characteristic properties of the magnetohydrodynamic ~MHD! equations with two independent variables ~time-dependent MHD in the xt plane and steady MHD in the xy plane!, based on the symmetrizable Galilean invariant form of the equations and using a matrix approach. A numerically obtained stationary planar field-aligned MHD bow shock f...

Magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) peristaltic flow of a Couple Stress Fluid through a permeable channel is examined in this investigation. The flow analysis is performed in the presence of an External Magnetic Field. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approach is implemented. Mathematical expressions of axial velocity, pressure gradient and volume flow rate are obtained. Pressure rise, frictional f...

We present a boundary feedback law that stabilizes the velocity, pressure, and electromagnetic fields in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) channel flow. The MHD channel flow, also known as Hartmann flow, is a benchmark for applications such as cooling, hypersonic flight, and propulsion. It involves an electrically conducting fluid moving between parallel plates in the presence of an externally impose...

The magnetohydrodynamics angular rate sensor (MHD ARS) has received much attention for its ultra-low noise in ultra-broad bandwidth and its impact resistance in harsh environments; however, its poor performance at low frequency hinders its work in long time duration. The paper presents a modified MHD ARS combining Coriolis with MHD effect to extend the measurement scope throughout the whole ban...

A volume penalization approach to simulate magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows in confined domains is presented. Here the incompressible visco-resistive MHD equations are solved using parallel pseudo-spectral solvers in Cartesian geometries. The volume penalization technique is an immersed boundary method which is characterized by a high flexibility for the geometry of the considered flow. In the p...
