Özet
In this paper, the steady, laminar, incompressible viscous flow of electrically conducting liquid-metal fluid in circular non-conducting pipe is considered under the influence of a uniform transverse magnetic field with pressure gradient. GaInSn (Gallium-Indium-Tin) liquid metal fluid is used as operating fluid. A uniform transverse external magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the flow direction. The simulations are performed by means of Fluent MHD module based on solving the magnetic induction equation. Fluent 13.0, the finite element software is used to calculate the three dimensional fluid dynamics and electromagnetic field partial differential equations iteratively. The magnetic field induction, B, take values between 0 and 1.5 T with 0.5 T step size, have been applied for determine B effects on liquid-metal flow. Results, obtained from numerical study was plotted graphically and disgusted in the present paper. The velocity of fluid is found to decrease with the increasing of the magnetic field.
