Two dimensional model for analysis of cylindrical linear induction pump characteristics: model description and numerical analysis

Comparison of computer codes for evaluation of double-supply-frequency pulsations in linear induction pumps

“…Some computer codes were proposed to estimate the amplitude of DSF pressure pulsation (see Araseki et al, 2000a;Ogorodnikov et al, 2002;Kirillov and Obukhov, 2003). It is interesting to compare them using the same experimental results to understand better their advantages and limitations.…”

“…A non-slip condition u = w = 0 is applied at the duct wall surfaces. (Kirillov and Obukhov, 2003) 2-D model (x, y) is presented in Fig. 2 (the designation of axis is retained as in the original paper).…”

“…2 (the designation of axis is retained as in the original paper). Cylin- Kirillov and Obukhov (2003). drical geometry of the annular pump is replaced with the flat one with the duct width 2πR, where R is the annular pump duct mean radius.…”

3D numerical modeling of liquid metal turbulent flow in an annular linear induction pump

“…The numerical simulation becomes the only reliable method of design of the large scale ALIPs. A lot of efforts were made to perform a computer modeling of the metal flow in the MHD pumps [13,14,15,16]. Nevertheless, all these attempts dealt with simplified models of the pumps, basically two dimensional.…”

“…Nevertheless, all these attempts dealt with simplified models of the pumps, basically two dimensional. The most advanced attempt was made in the work [13]. However, the impact of the velocity of the metal on the electromagnetic field has not been incorporated into the code of this work.…”
