Magnetohydrodynamic flow in a curved pipe

  • Published:
Applied Scientific Research, Section B

Summary

The effect of a transverse magnetic field on the steady motion of a conducting, viscous and incompressible liquid through a pipe of circular crossection, coiled in a circle is studied in this paper. The solution is obtained by successive approximations in ascending powers of the Hartmann number; the first approximation corresponds to the non-magnetic case, formulated and discussed by Dean1). It is assumed that the walls of the pipe are nonconducting and the radius of the cross-section is small in comparison with that of the circle in which the pipe is coiled. The stream-lines in the central plane and the projection of the stream-lines on a normal section are shown graphically and are compared with those of a non-conducting fluid.
