Effect of External Magnetic Field on Dynamics of Two-dimensional Isotropic Conducting Flow
Department of aerospace Engineering, K. N. Toosi University of Technology, Iran
In this article, the impact of external uniform magnetic field on the dynamic characteristics and mixing parameters of two-dimensional isotropic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow is investigated. For this purpose, the direct numerical simulation (DNS) is applied to two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes and magnetic induction equations by pseudo-spectral method. Governing equations are considered in the N-S vorticity equations to guarantee the incompressibility conditions and remove the pressure term from equations. The Results of the calculations show that the deformation of vortexes by external magnetic field reduces the mixing efficiency. It is also demonstrated that in MHD flow the energy is exchanged by Lorentz force between the flow and the magnetic field in such a way that the kinetic energy decreases and consequently mixing of the fluid is reduced. This energy transfer causes reduction of viscous dissipation of energy and mixing efficiency, despite increasing the total dissipated energy rate.
