• STUDY ON LIQUID METAL MHD FLOW THROUGH A TRIANGULAR DUCT UNDER THE ACTION OF VERY STRONG TRANSVERSE MAGNETIC FIELD

Abstract

A numerical solution for steady MHD flow of liquid metal through a right angled isosceles triangular duct has been discussed. This duct flow is under the action of strong transverse magnetic field which act normal to one of the wall of the duct. All the duct walls are considered to be electrically insulated as well as isothermal. The numerical solution for velocity,  induced magnetic field and temperature distribution has been obtained by using 9-point stencil centered finite difference method. Solution for different values of Hartmann number, Magnetic Reynold number and Prandtl number for this asymmetric configuration due to action of transverse field are presented graphically and effects on various fields have been analyzed.
