Theoretical analysis of the frictional losses in magnetohydrodynamic microflows considering slippage

Electrical performance enhancement of MHD microgenerators through the longitudinal shaping of the cross-section

“…Most of the existing models have been developed for micro-pumps [27] and can be easily adapted to describe the operation of a microgenerator. The literature reports analytical models for one- and two-dimensional (2D) problems [28] , [29] , while three-dimensional numerical solutions are reported based on Finite Difference Methods (FDM) [30] , [31] , Finite Element Methods (FEM) [32] , and Finite Volume Methods (FVM) [33] , [34] , [35] . We chose the FVM as it is the most common approach to dealing with fluids in motion.…”
