Direct numerical simulation of quasi-two-dimensional MHD turbulent shear flows
Long Chen, Alban Pothérat, Ming-Jiu Ni +1
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) are performed to study the turbulent shear flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a cylindrical container. The flow is driven by the interac…
PIV mapping of pressure and velocity fields in the plane magnetohydrodynamic Couette flow
Brahim Moudjed, Alban Pothérat, Martin Holdsworth
We present the first simultaneous mapping of two-dimensional, time-dependent velocity and pressure fields in a plane Couette flow pervaded by a transverse magnetic field. While ele…
An effective two-dimensional model for MHD flows with transverse magnetic field
Alban Pothérat, Joël Sommeria, René Moreau
This paper presents a model for quasi two-dimensional MHD flows between two planes with small magnetic Reynolds number and constant transverse magnetic field orthogonal to the plan…
2D models for MHD flows
Alban Pothérat, Joël Sommeria, René Moreau
A new model is proposed for low MHD flows which remain turbulent even in the presence of a magnetic field. These flows minimize the Joule dissipation because of their tendency…
Numerical simulations of an effective two-dimensional model for flows with a transverse magnetic field
Alban Pothérat, Joël Sommeria, René Moreau
This paper presents simulations of the 2d model developed by Pothérat at al (\emph{J. Fluid Mech}, 2000) for MHD flows between two planes with a strong transverse homogeneous and s…
Effective boundary conditions for magnetohydrodynamic flows with thin Hartmann layers
Alban Pothérat, Joël Sommeria, René Moreau
Here we build some effective boundary conditions to be used in numerical calculations in order to avoid the thin meshing usually required in problems involving Hartmann layers near…
