Momentum Transport in DIII-D Discharges with and Without Magnetohydrodynamics （MHD） Activity

Two phases of a DIII-D discharge with and without magnetohydrodynamics （MHD） activity are analysed using ONETWO code. The toroidal momentum flux is extracted from experimental data and compared with the predictions by neoclassical theory, Gyro-Landau fluid transport model （GLF23） and Multi-Mode model （MMM95）. It is found that without MHD activities GLF23 and MMM95 provide a reasonable description while with MHD activity no model alone can fully describe the experimental momentum flux. For the phase with MHD activity a simple model of resonant magnetic drag is tested and it cannot fully explain the plasma slowing down observed in experiment.

Natural Convection and Irreversibility of Nanofluid Due to Inclined Magnetohydrodynamics(MHD)Filled in a Cavity with Y-Shape Heated Fin:FEM Computational

This study explains the entropy process of natural convective heating in the nanofluid-saturated cavity in a heated fin andmagnetic field.The temperature is constant on the Y-shaped fin,insulating the topwall while the remaining walls remain cold.All walls are subject to impermeability and non-slip conditions.The mathematical modeling of the problem is demonstrated by the continuity,momentum,and energy equations incorporating the inclined magnetic field.For elucidating the flow characteristics Finite ElementMethod(FEM)is implemented using stable FE pair.A hybrid fine mesh is used for discretizing the domain.Velocity and thermal plots concerning parameters are drawn.In addition,a detailed discussion regarding generation energy by monitoring changes in magnetic,viscous,total,and thermal irreversibility is provided.In addition,line graphs are created for the u and v components of the velocity profile to predict the flow behavior.Current simulations assume the dimensionless representative of magnetic field Hartmann number Ha between 0 and 100 and a magnetic field inclination between 0 and 90 degrees.A constant 4% volume proportion of nanoparticles is employed throughout all scenarios.

THE GLOBAL WELL-POSEDNESS OF SOLUTIONS TO COMPRESSIBLE ISENTROPIC TWO-FLUID MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS IN A STRIP DOMAIN

In this paper,we consider a model of compressible isentropic two-fluid magneto-hydrodynamics without resistivity in a strip domain in three dimensional space.By exploiting the two-tier energy method developed in[Anal PDE,2013,6:1429–1533],we prove the global well-posedness of the governing model around a uniform magnetic field which is non-parallel to the horizontal boundary.Moreover,we show that the solution converges to the steady state at an almost exponential rate as time goes to infinity.Compared to the work of Tan and Wang[SIAM J Math Anal,2018,50:1432–1470],we need to overcome the difficulties caused by particles.

INCOMPRESSIBLE LIMIT OF IDEAL MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS IN A DOMAIN WITH BOUNDARIES

We study the incompressible limit of classical solutions to compressible ideal magneto-hydrodynamics in a domain with a flat boundary.The boundary condition is characteristic and the initial data is general.We first establish the uniform existence of classical solutions with respect to the Mach number.Then,we prove that the solutions converge to the solution of the incompressible MHD system.In particular,we obtain a stronger convergence result by using the dispersion of acoustic waves in the half space.

Soret and Dufour effects on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of Casson fluid

This article studies the Soret and Dufour effects on the magnetohydrody- namic （MHD） flow of the Casson fluid over a stretched surface. The relevant equations are first derived, and the series solution is constructed by the homotopic procedure. The results for velocities, temperature, and concentration fields are displayed and discussed. Numerical values of the skin friction coefficient, the Nusselt number, and the Sherwood number for different values of physical parameters are constructed and analyzed. The convergence of the series solutions is examined.

A STUDY ON THE BOUNDARY LAYER FOR THE PLANAR MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS SYSTEM

The paper aims to estimate the thickness of the boundary layer for the planar MHD system with vanishing shear viscosity μ. Under some conditions on the initial and boundary data, we show that the thickness is of the order √μ｜lnμ｜. Note that this estimate holds also for the Navier-Stokes system so that it extends the previous works even without the magnetic effect.

KINETIC FUNCTIONS IN MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS WITH RESISTIVITY AND HALL EFFECT

We consider a nonlinear hyperbolic system of two conservation laws which arises in ideal magnetohydrodynamics and includes second-order terms accounting for magnetic resistivity and Hall effect. We show that the initial value problem for this model may lead to solutions exhibiting complex wave structures, including undercompressive nonclassical shock waves. We investigate numerically the subtle competition that takes place between the hyperbolic, diffusive, and dispersive parts of the system. Following Abeyratne, Knowles, LeFloch, and Truskinovsky, who studied similar questions arising in fluid and solid flows, we determine the associated kinetic function which characterizes the dynamics of undereompressive shocks driven by resistivity and Hall effect. To this end, we design a new class of ＂schemes with eontroled dissipation＂, following recent work by LeFloch and Mohammadian. It is now recognized that the equivalent equation associated with a scheme provides a guideline to design schemes that capture physically relevant, nonclassical shocks. We propose a new class of schemes based on high-order entropy conservative, finite differences for the hyperbolic flux, and high-order central differences for the resistivity and Hall terms. These schemes are tested for several regimes of （co-planar or not） initial data and parameter values, and allow us to analyze the properties of nonclassical shocks and establish the existence of monotone kinetic functions in magnetohydrodynamics.

Magnetohydrodynamics instability of interfacial waves between two immiscible incompressible cylindrical fluids

The problem of nonlinear instability of interfacial waves between two immiscible conducting cylindrical fluids of a weak Oldroyd 3-constant kind is studied. The system is assumed to be influenced by an axial magnetic field, where the effect of surface tension is taken into account. The analysis, based on the method of multiple scale in both space and time, includes the linear as well as the nonlinear effects. This scheme leads to imposing of two levels of the solvability conditions, which are used to construct like-nonlinear Schr6dinger equations （1-NLS） with complex coefficients. These equations generally describe the competition between nonlinearity and dispersion. The stability criteria are theoret- ically discussed and thereby stability diagrams are obtained for different sets of physical parameters. Proceeding to the nonlinear step of the problem, the results show the appearance of dual role of some physical parameters. Moreover, these effects depend on the wave kind, short or long, except for the ordinary viscosity parameter. The effect of the field on the system stability depends on the existence of viscosity and differs in the linear case of the problem from the nonlinear one. There is an obvious difference between the effect of the three Oldroyd constants on the system stability. New instability regions in the parameter space, which appear due to nonlinear effects, are shown.

Parallel finite element computation of incompressible magnetohydrodynamics based on three iterations

Based on local algorithms,some parallel finite element(FE)iterative methods for stationary incompressible magnetohydrodynamics(MHD)are presented.These approaches are on account of two-grid skill include two major phases:find the FE solution by solving the nonlinear system on a globally coarse mesh to seize the low frequency component of the solution,and then locally solve linearized residual subproblems by one of three iterations(Stokes-type,Newton,and Oseen-type)on subdomains with fine grid in parallel to approximate the high frequency component.Optimal error estimates with regard to two mesh sizes and iterative steps of the proposed algorithms are given.Some numerical examples are implemented to verify the algorithm.

Entropy analysis in electrical magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) flow of nanofluid with effects of thermal radiation,viscous dissipation,and chemical reaction

The unsteady mixed convection flow of electrical conducting nanofluid and heat transfer due to a permeable linear stretching sheet with the combined effects of an electric field, magnetic field, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, and chemical reaction have been investigated. A similarity transformation is used to transform the constitutive equations into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations.The resultant system of equations is then solved numerically using implicit finite difference method.The velocity, temperature, concentration, entropy generation, and Bejan number are obtained with the dependence of different emerging parameters examined. It is noticed that the velocity is more sensible with high values of electric field and diminished with a magnetic field. The radiative heat transfer and viscous dissipation enhance the heat conduction in the system. Moreover, the impact of mixed convection parameter and Buoyancy ratio parameter on Bejan number profile has reverse effects. A chemical reaction reduced the nanoparticle concentration for higher values.

Electron Magnetohydrodynamics Magnetic Reconnection Experiment on Keda Linear Magnetized Plasma Device

We conduct an electron magnetohydrodynamics magnetic reconnection experiment with guide-field in our Keda linear magnetized plasma device, in which two pulsed currents with the same direction are conducted in parallel with the axial direction of the main chamber of the device using two long aluminum sticks. After approximately 5μs, an X-type magnetic field line topology is formed at the center of the chamber. With the formation of the X-type topology of magnetic field lines, we can also find the rapid increase of the current and ratio of the common flux to the private flux in this area. Additionally, a reduction in the plasma density and the plasma density concentration along one pair of separatrices can also be found.

The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability of a double-layer interface in convergent geometry with magnetohydrodynamics

The interaction between a converging cylindrical shock and double density interfaces in the presence of a saddle magnetic field is numerically investigated within the framework of ideal magnetohydrodynamics.Three fluids of differing densities are initially separated by the two perturbed cylindrical interfaces.The initial incident converging shock is generated from a Riemann problem upstream of the first interface.The effect of the magnetic field on the instabilities is studied through varying the field strength.It shows that the Richtmyer-Meshkov and Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities are mitigated by the field,however,the extent of the suppression varies on the interface which leads to non-axisymmetric growth of the perturbations.The degree of asymmetry of the interfacial growth rate is increased when the seed field strength is increased.

垂直上升通道内气泡–液态金属MHD流动与传热的数值研究

在聚变堆的冷却系统中,由于强磁场的影响,液态金属流动受到抑制,通过掺入气泡到液态金属中可减小磁流体力学(Magnetohydrodynamic,MHD)效应,提升传热速率。该文基于VOF多相流模型,在不同的磁场强度(0~1.3 T)和不同的气泡雷诺数(1.3×10^(4)~6.76×10^(4))范围内,对横向磁场作用下垂直上升通道中气泡-液态金属两相流动传热特性进行数值研究。结果表明,无磁场时气体呈柱状流,而在磁场作用下,由于MHD箍缩效应的影响,气柱破裂、分离,形成了气泡流;随着磁场增大,其分离点由入口逐渐向上移动,且气泡运动速度随之增加。与液态金属单相流相比,气泡-液态金属两相流动的平均换热系数随磁场强度和气泡雷诺数增加均呈下降趋势,但因两相流动显著减小由MHD效应引起的压降,从而提升通道内综合换热因子,且在磁场较小时,提升效果更好。

Traveling Wave Solutions of the Incompressible Ideal Hall Magnetohydrodynamics

The solutions of incompressible ideal Hall magnetohydrodynamics are obtained by using the traveling wave method. It is shown that the velocity and magnetic field parallel to the wave vector can be arbitrary constants. The velocity and magnetic field perpendicular to the wave vector are both helical waves. Moreover, the amplitude of the velocity perpendicular to the wave vector is related to the wave number and the circular frequency. In addition, further studies indicate that, no matter whether the uniform ambient magnetic field exists or not, the forms of the travelling wave solutions do not change.

Symmetry transformations for magnetohydrodynamics and Chew–Goldberger–Low equilibria revisited

We generalize the symmetry transformations for magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) equilibria with isotropic pressure and incompressible flow parallel to the magnetic field introduced by Bogoyavlenskij in the case of the respective Chew–Goldberger–Low(CGL) equilibria with anisotropic pressure. We find that the geometrical symmetry of the field-aligned equilibria can be broken by those transformations only when the magnetic field is purely poloidal. In this situation we derive three-dimensional CGL equilibria from given axisymmetric ones. Also, we examine the generic symmetry transformations for MHD and CGL equilibria with incompressible flow of an arbitrary direction, introduced in a number of papers, and find that they cannot break the geometrical symmetries of the original equilibria, unless the velocity and magnetic field are collinear and purely poloidal.

LOCAL EXISTENCE AND BLOW-UP CRITERION OF 3D IDEAL MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS EQUATIONS

We investigate the local existence of smooth solutions of a 3D ideal magneto-hydrodynamics （MHD） equations in a bounded domain and give a blow-up criteria to thisequations with respect to vorticists.

GLOBAL WELLPOSEDNESS OF MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS SYSTEM WITH TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT VISCOSITY

The initial boundary value problem of the one-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamics system, when the viscosity, thermal conductivity, and magnetic diffusion coefficients are general smooth functions of temperature, is considered in this article. A unique global classical solution is shown to exist uniquely and converge to the constant state as the time tends to infinity under certain assumptions on the initial data and the adiabatic exponent γ. The initial data can be large if γ is sufficiently close to 1.

THE FORMATION OF SHOCK WAVES OF THE EQUATIONS OF MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS

The property of fluid field of one-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) transverse flow after the appearance of singularity is discussed. By the method of iteration, the strong discontinuity (shock wave) and entropy solution are constructed and the estimations on the singularity of the solution near the point of blow-up are obtained.

Galerkin-Petrov least squares mixed element method for stationary incompressible magnetohydrodynamics

The Galerkin-Petrov least squares method is combined with the mixed finite element method to deal with the stationary, incompressible magnetohydrodynamics system of equations with viscosity. A Galerkin-Petrov least squares mixed finite element format for the stationary incompressible magnetohydrodynamics equations is presented. And the existence and error estimates of its solution are derived. Through this method, the combination among the mixed finite element spaces does not demand the discrete Babuska-Brezzi stability conditions so that the mixed finite element spaces could be chosen arbitrartily and the error estimates with optimal order could be obtained.
