Numerical Study of Turbulent Pipe Flow with Transverse Magnetic Field Using a Spectral/Finite Element Solver

摘要

The study of duct flow for electrically conducting liquid metal fluids exposed to an externally applied magnetic field is acknowledged to be a good approach for a better understanding of the fundamental properties of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. This fundamental type of flow is frequent in industrial processes such as the casting/stirring of steel or the Czochralski process used to obtain single crystals of semiconductors [1, 2].
