Numerical Study of the Effect of the Electrical Conductivity of a Pipe’s Wall on the Flow of a Modeled Salt Melt during an Upward Flow in a Transverse Magnetic Field
摘要
Abstract
Results are presented from a numerical study of the flow of an electrically conductive fluid under the influence of a transverse magnetic field, allowing for the varying electrical conductivity of the wall of a round pipe measuring 40 × 2 mm. The considered fluid is a simulated salt melt (a 20% aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide) whose concentration allows the maximum value of the Hartmann number to be reached.
