In this paper, several low and high Reynolds number versions of k-ε and Reynolds stress turbulence models have been evaluated in a channel and a square duct flow with and without a magnetic field by comparing the predictions with direct numerical simulations data. The simulations are performed using FLUENT solver. The additional source terms for magnetic field effects on turbulence have been in...

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) provides a convenient, programmable means for propelling liquids and controlling fluid flow in microfluidic devices without a need for mechanical pumps and valves. When the magnetic field is uniform and the electric field in the electrolyte solution is confined to a plane that is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, the Lorentz body force is irrotatio...

PURPOSE Blood flow causes induced voltages via the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect distorting electrograms (EGMs) made during magnetic resonance imaging. To investigate the MHD effect in this context MHD voltages occurring inside the human heart were simulated in an in vitro model system inside a 1.5 T MR system. METHODS The model was developed to produce MHD signals similar to those produce...

The effects of both wall slip conditions and heat transfer on the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) peristaltic flow of a Maxwell fluid in a porous planar channel with elastic wall properties have been studied. Mathematical formulation is based upon the modified Darcy’s law. The analytical solution has been derived for the stream function and temperature under the assumptions of small wave number.The ...

This paper investigates steady-state solutions to MHD thermally radiating and reacting thermosolutal viscous flow through a channel with porous medium. The reaction is assumed to be strongly exothermic under generalized Arrhenius kinetics, neglecting the consumption of the material. Approximate solutions are constructed for the governing nonlinear boundary value problem using WKBJ approximation...

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...
