Experimental Investigation on MHD Instabilities of Free Surface Jet and Film Flow for Liquid Metal Divertor/Limiter Options

1 Introduction Recently, it is rising of the study of liquid metal free surface as the divertor, limiter and the first wall in a fusion device. Many special facilities are employed to investigate MHD-related issues of free surface jet and film flow, and many results are carried out on theory and experiments . But, there are still not enough experimental data to well understand magneto- hydrodynamics （MHD） instability. For theory, the greatest challenge is how to develop a modeling to expect and understand free surface MHD phenomenon, and for experiments is how to diagnose the flow state of liquid metal free surface flow in magnetic field.     

MHD Three-Dimensional Flow of Viscoelastic Fluid with Convective Surface Boundary Condition

This article reports the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) three-dimensional flow of viscoelastic fluid over a stretching surface with heat transfer. Mathematical analysis is formulated using convective boundary conditions. Computations of dimensionless velocity and temperature fields are presented. The tabulated values show excellent agreement between present and previous limiting analysis. Graphical results show the impact of embedded parameters entering into the problem.     

MHD Flow Towards a Permeable Surface with Prescribed Wall Heat Flux

The steady magnetohydrodynamic （MHD） mixed convection flow towards a vertical permeable surface with prescribed heat flux is investigated. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations, which is then solved numerically by a finite-difference method. The features of the flow and heat transfer characteristics for different values of the governing parameters are analysed and discussed. Both assisting and opposing flows are considered. It is found that dual solutions exist for the assisting flow, besides the solutions usually reported in the literature for the opposing flow.     

Experimental Study on Flow Boiling Pressure Drop and Flow Instabilities of Reentrant Micro-channels

Flow boiling pressure drop and flow instabilities of Ω-shaped reentrant copper micro-channels were experimentally explored. Tests were conducted in deionized water and ethanol at inlet subcoolings of 10°C and 40°C, mass fluxes of 125–300 kg/m²·s, and a wide range of heat fluxes and exit vapor qualities. The operational parameters effects, i.e., heat flux, mass flux, inlet subcooling, and coolants, on pressure drop and flow instabilities were systematically explored. The two-phase pressure drop of reentrant micro-channels were found to generally increase monotonically with increasing heat fluxes and exit vapor qualities. Nevertheless, the roles of mass flux and inlet subcooling were dependent on the test coolant.     

Viscous Slip MHD Flow over a Moving Sheet with an Arbitrary Surface Velocity

The magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) flow induced by a stretching or shrinking sheet under slip conditions is studied.Analytical solutions based on the boundary layer assumption are obtained in a closed form and can be applied to a flow configuration with any arbitrary velocity distributions. Seven typical sheet velocity profiles are employed as illustrating examples. The solutions to the slip MHD flow are derived from the general solution and discussed in detail. Different from self-similar boundary layer flows, the flows studied in this work have solutions in explicit analytical forms. However, the current flows require special mass transfer at the wall, which is determined by the moving velocity of the sheet. The effects of the slip parameter, the mass transfer at the wall, and the magnetic field on the flow are also demonstrated.

Finite Element Analysis of MHD Flow of Micropolar Fluid over a Shrinking Sheet with a Convective Surface Boundary Condition

This paper presents a numerical solution for the steady mixed convection magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an electrically conducting micropolar fluid over a porous shrinking sheet. The velocity of shrinking sheet and magnetic field are assumed to vary as power functions of the distance from the origin. A convective boundary condition is used rather than the customary conditions for temperature, i.e., constant surface temperature or constant heat flux. With the aid of similarity transformations, the governing partial differential equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically, using the variational finite element method (FEM). The influence of various emerging thermophysical parameters, namely suction parameter, convective heat transfer parameter, magnetic parameter and power index on velocity, microrotation and temperature functions is studied extensively and is shown graphically. Additionally the skin friction and rate of heat transfer, which provide an estimate of the surface shear stress and the rate of cooling of the surface, respectively, have also been computed for these parameters. Under the limiting case an analytical solution of the flow velocity is compared with the present numerical results. An excellent agreement between the two sets of solutions is observed. Also, in order to check the convergence of numerical solution, the calculations are carried out by reducing the mesh size. The present study finds applications in materials processing and demonstrates excellent stability and convergence characteristics for the variational FEM code.     

Numerical Study of Unsteady MHD Flow and Entropy Generation in a Rotating Permeable Channel with Slip and Hall Effects

This article investigates an unbiased analysis for the unsteady two-dimensional laminar flow of an incompressible, electrically and thermally conducting fluid across the space separated by two infinite rotating permeable walls.The influence of entropy generation, Hall and slip effects are considered within the flow analysis. The problem is modeled based on valid physical arguments and the unsteady system of dimensionless PDEs (partial differential equations) are solved with the help of Finite Difference Scheme. In the presence of pertinent parameters, the precise movement of the flow in terms of velocity, temperature, entropy generation rate, and Bejan numbers are presented graphically, which are parabolic in nature. Streamline profiles are also presented, which exemplify the accurate movement of the flow. The current study is one of the infrequent contributions to the existing literature as previous studies have not attempted to solve the system of high order non-linear PDEs for the unsteady flow with entropy generation and Hall effects in a permeable rotating channel. It is expected that the current analysis would provide a platform for solving the system of nonlinear PDEs of the other unexplored models that are associated to the two-dimensional unsteady flow in a rotating channel.     

Investigations of Fast Insulator Surface Flashover in Vacuum

Electrooptical measurements of the electric fields along insulator surfaces have been made, utilizing the Kerr and Pockels effects, to determine the mechanisms associated with fast insulator flashover in vacuum. Data are presented that show the temporal and spatial variations of the surface fields prior to and at flashover for insulator surfaces oriented at 0° and 45° with respect to the applied field. It is found that the surface field near the cathode is enhanced and the field near the anode is reduced during the excitation. The results further show a temporal reduction in the field nonuniformity as flashover is approached. The field collapse associated with flashover occurs very rapidly for 0° surfaces. The field collapse for 45° surfaces begins at the anode and propagates at 0.83 cm/ns towards the cathode. Mechanisms consistent with these experimental measurements are postulated.     

Bulk and Surface Plasmons in Artificially Structured Materials

The bulk and surface collective charge density excitations of metallic and semiconducting superlattice structures are studied. Because of the new periodicity along the axis of an infinite superlattice, these plasma modes form bands which satisfy Bloch's theorem. The dependence of the band structure on the material parameters is investigated. For finite or semi-infinite systems novel surface plasmons can occur. The coupling of the bulk and surface collective modes to external probes is reviewed.
