TEXT(1D Laminar MHD Channel Flow
TITLE
DISPLAY
This problem concerns the steady fully-developed laminar
flow of an incompressible electrically-conducting fluid
in the positive z-direction of a plane channel. A uniform
magnetic field By is imposed normal to the walls and a
current jx is induced in the fluid in the x-direction,
together with a magnetic field Bz in the z-direction. The
problem neglects end effects, secondary flows, Hall effect
and ion-slip phenomena.

The dimensionless momentum equation to be solved is:
dp/dz + d/dy(dw/dy)/Re + Ha*Ha(K-w)/Re = 0
where y =y/yin
z =z/yin
w =w/win
p=p/(rho*win**2)
Re=win*yin/enul
Ha=sig*(By*yin)**2/(rho1*enul)
K =Ex/(win*By)
Here, yin is the channel half width (m), By is
the imposed magnetic flux density in the +ve y
direction (volt.s/m**2), sig is the electric
conductivity (ohm/m) and Ex is electric field
intensity in the +ve x-direction (volt/m).
The Hartmann number Ha represents the ratio of
the electromagnetic forces to the viscous forces.
The voltage ratio K is the ratio of the voltage
to the open-circuit voltage. If K=0, this corresponds
to a short-circuit condition. When K=1 the net current
flow is zero, which is known as the open-circuit
condition. This is the classical Hartmann problem.
Further, if K < 1 the channel will act as a MHD pump,
whereas if K > 1 the channel will act as a flowmeter.
The analytical solution to this problem has been
presented in 'Engineering Magnetohydrodynamics',
Chapter 10, G.W.Sutton and A.Sherman, McGraw Hill,
(1965).
