| Abstract |
This paper deals with the study of an unsteady fluid
flow in a MHD pump fed with sinusoidal current at variable
frequency for the mercury pumping using an alternate
coupling finite element and volume computation with an
adaptation of the nodes. By introducing vector potentials ( ) ø , A
and the vorticity î, a system of equations which are of the
elliptic type for describing a velocity and pressure distribution in
the channel is obtained.
In this analysis, the width of the channel is taken into
account and the results are compared to those obtained in the
limit case when the width is much smaller or much bigger than
a characteristic dimension of the channel.
The results show the influence of the frequency on the fluid
flow of the MHD pump. |
