Abstract:Under the assumption of the low magnetic Reynolds number, the coupled model of the turbulent flow field and the electromagnetic field is established to simulate the flow characteristics of Weakly Ionized Gas (WIG) in the inlet under the MHD (Magnetohydrodynamic) effect. Results show that WIG has more active thermodynamic properties than that of air in inlet. Specifically, at the throat, the thermal conductivity of WIG is augmented by 1.64 times compared to that of air. For the inlet with an MHD acceleration zo… Show more
