A uniform transverse magnetic field is used, and the induced magnetic field is taken into account. The exact solution to the governing equations is obtained in a closed form. The solution to the problem in the case of vanishing and small finite magnetic Prandtl numbers is also derived from the general solution. The asymp- totic behavior of the solution for large values of the frequency parameter is analyzed to gain some physical insights into the flow pattern. Expressions for the shear stress at both the oscillatory and stationary plates due to primary and secondary flows and mass flow rate in the primary and secondary flow directions are also obtained. The results of the fluid velocity and the induced magnetic field are presented. The shear stresses on the plates due to the primary and secondary flows and the corresponding mass flow rates are presented in a tabular form.展开更多

However, the high edge pressure gradients easily produce ELM instability , which generally can expel large, heat and particle loading to the divertor targets. These ELMs limit the core plasma performance and reduce the lifetime of divertor target plates. The transports of heat and particles outward across plasma boundary are useful to control density and impurity profiles for achieving steady state, high performance plasmas. Consequently, any technique to eliminate or mitigate large fast ELM impulses must replace the transient heat and particle transports with another slow process. Such a technique is high priority for a burning plasma device such as ITER.展开更多

Radial sheet is considered to be convectively heated. Convective boundary conditions through heat and mass are employed. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations. Convergent series solutions of the resulting problems are derived. Emphasis has been focused on studying the effects of mixed convection, thermal radiation, magnetic field and nanoparticles on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields. Numerical values of the physical parameters involved in the problem are computed for the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are computed.展开更多

The shape and position of the MPB can be gained from these crossings, and they are in good agreement with the results obtained by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) and Phobos-2. In addition, we classify these crossings based on the crustal magnetic field nearby. It turns out that the position of MPB near the strong (>50 nT) crustal magnetic field is higher than the position of the MPB near the weak (<10 nT) crustal magnetic field. This result reflects the effect of the crustal magnetic field on the interaction between the Martian atmosphere and solar wind.展开更多
