Scaling laws in axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic duct flows
arXiv:1910.10497 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevFluids.5.043701
Abstract
We report on a numerical study of axisymmetric flow of liquid metal in a circular duct with rectangular cross-section. The flow is forced through the combination of an axial magnetic field and a radial current. Sweeping a wide range of forcing parameters, we identify the different regimes which characterize the flows and explicit the associate scaling laws. Experimental results are interpreted in the light of our numerical simulations.
