After approximately 5μs, an X-type magnetic field line topology is formed at the center of the chamber. With the formation of the X-type topology of magnetic field lines, we can also find the rapid increase of the current and ratio of the common flux to the private flux in this area. Additionally, a reduction in the plasma density and the plasma density concentration along one pair of separatrices can also be found.展开更多

It is shown that the left-handed helical modes play a major role on the spectral transfer properties of turbulence when the generalized helicity and magnetic helicity are both positive. In contrast, the right-handed helical modes will play a major role when both are negative. Furthermore, we also find that if the generalized helicity and magnetic helicity have opposite signs, the tendency of equilibrium spectra to condense at the large or small wave numbers will be presented in different helical sectors. This indicates that the generalized helicity dominates the forward cascade and the magnetic helicity dominates the inverse cascade properties of the Hall MHD turbulence.展开更多

Copper (Cu) and Silver (Ag) solid particles are used as hybrid particles acting in water H2O asa base fluid. The mathematical formulation of flow configuration is presented in terms of differential systemthat isnonlinear in nature. The thermal aspects of the flow field are also investigated by assuming the surface is a heatedsurface with a constant temperature T. Numerical solutions to the governing mathematical model are calculatedby the RK45 algorithm. The results based on the numerical solution against various flow and thermal controllingparameters are presented in terms of line graphs. The specific results depict that the heat flux increases over thelubricated-indexed parameter.展开更多

For ideal flows, a similarity reduction method is used to obtain exact solutions for several MHD flows with nonlinear variable Mach number. For resistive flows parallel to a magnetic field, the governing equilibrium equation is derived. The MHD equilibrium state of a helically symmetric incompressible flow is governed by a second-order elliptic partial differential equation(PDE) for the helical magnetic flux function. Exact solutions for the latter equation are obtained. Also, the equilibrium equations of a gravitating plasma with incompressible flow are derived.展开更多

The governing equations are continuity equation, momentum equation, energy equation and concentration equation. The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles together with heat and mass transfer rate were determined. The system of nonlinear partial differential equations governing the flow solved numerically by applying collocation method and implemented in MATLAB. The numerical solution of the profiles displayed both by graphically and numerically for different values of the physical parameters entering into the problem. The effects of varying various parameters such as Reynolds number, Hartmann number, Soret number, Dufour number and Prandtl number on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles also the rate of heat and mass transfer are discussed. The study is significant because heat and mass transfer mechanisms with the soret and dufour effects considerations play an important role due to its wide range of application including but not limited to medical fields, biological sciences and other physical sciences where collapsible tubes are applied.展开更多

文摘Using the Fourier helical decomposition,we obtain the absolute statistical equilibrium spectra of left-and righthanded helical modes in the incompressible ideal Hall magnetohydrodynamics(MHD). It is shown that the left-handed helical modes play a major role on the spectral transfer properties of turbulence when the generalized helicity and magnetic helicity are both positive. In contrast, the right-handed helical modes will play a major role when both are negative. Furthermore, we also find that if the generalized helicity and magnetic helicity have opposite signs, the tendency of equilibrium spectra to condense at the large or small wave numbers will be presented in different helical sectors. This indicates that the generalized helicity dominates the forward cascade and the magnetic helicity dominates the inverse cascade properties of the Hall MHD turbulence.

文摘We derived the properties of the terrestrial magnetopause(MP)from two modeling approaches,one global–fluid,the other local–kinetic,and compared the results with data collected in situ by the Magnetospheric Multiscale 2(MMS2)spacecraft.We used global magnetohydrodynamic(MHD)simulations of the Earth’s magnetosphere(publicly available from the NASA-CCMC[National Aeronautics and Space Administration–Community Coordinated Modeling Center])and local Vlasov equilibrium models(based on kinetic models for tangential discontinuities)to extract spatial profiles of the plasma and field variables at the Earth’s MP.The global MHD simulations used initial solar wind conditions extracted from the OMNI database at the time epoch when the MMS2 observes the MP.The kinetic Vlasov model used asymptotic boundary conditions derived from the same in situ MMS measurements upstream or downstream of the MP.The global MHD simulations provide a three-dimensional image of the magnetosphere at the time when the MMS2 crosses the MP.The Vlasov model provides a one-dimensional local view of the MP derived from first principles of kinetic theory.The MMS2 experimental data also serve as a reference for comparing and validating the numerical simulations and modeling.We found that the MP transition layer formed in global MHD simulations was generally localized closer to the Earth(roughly by one Earth radius)from the position of the real MP observed by the MMS.We also found that the global MHD simulations overestimated the thickness of the MP transition by one order of magnitude for three analyzed variables:magnetic field,density,and tangential speed.The MP thickness derived from the local Vlasov equilibrium was consistent with observations for all three of these variables.The overestimation of density in the Vlasov equilibrium was reduced compared with the global MHD solutions.We discuss our results in the context of future SMILE(Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer)campaigns for observing the Earth’s MP.

文摘We report on the magnetohydrodynamic impact on the axisymmetric flow of Al_(2)O_(3)/Cu nanoparticles suspended in H_(2)O past a stretched/shrinked sheet.With the use of partial differential equations and the corresponding thermophysical characteristics of nanoparticles,the physical flow process is illustrated.The resultant nonlinear system of partial differential equations is converted into a system of ordinary differential equations using the suitable similarity transformations.The transformed differential equations are solved analytically.Impacts of the magnetic parameter,solid volume fraction and stretching/shrinking parameter on momentum and temperature distribution have been analyzed and interpreted graphically.The skin friction and Nusselt number were also evaluated.In addition,existence of dual solution was deduced for the shrinking sheet and unique solution for the stretching one.Further,Al_(2)O_(3)/H_(2)O nanofluid flow has better thermal conductivity on comparing with Cu/H_(2)O nanofluid.Furthermore,it was found that the first solutions of the stream are stable and physically realizable,whereas those of the second ones are unstable.
文摘In this paper, the problem of finding exact solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) equations in the presence of incompressible mass flows with helical symmetry is considered. For ideal flows, a similarity reduction method is used to obtain exact solutions for several MHD flows with nonlinear variable Mach number. For resistive flows parallel to a magnetic field, the governing equilibrium equation is derived. The MHD equilibrium state of a helically symmetric incompressible flow is governed by a second-order elliptic partial differential equation(PDE) for the helical magnetic flux function. Exact solutions for the latter equation are obtained. Also, the equilibrium equations of a gravitating plasma with incompressible flow are derived.
文摘In this paper,we discussed the effect of nanoparticles shape on bioconvection nanofluid flow over the vertical cone in a permeable medium.The nanofluid contains water,Al2O3 nanoparticles with sphere(spherical)and lamina(non-spherical)shapes and motile microorganisms.The phenomena of heat absorption/generation,Joule heating and thermal radiation with chemical reactions have been incorporated.The similarity transformations technique is used to transform a governing system of partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations.The numerical bvp4c MATLAB program is used to find the solution of ordinary differential equations.The interesting aspects of pertinent parameters on mass transfer,energy,concentration,and density of themotilemicroorganisms’profiles are computed and discussed.Our analysis depicts that the performance of sphere shape nanoparticles in the form of velocity distribution,temperature distribution,skin friction,Sherwood number and Motile density number is better than lamina(non-spherical)shapes nanoparticles.

文摘Effects of plasma radiation on the nonlinear evolution of neo-classical double tearing modes(NDTMs)in tokamak plasmas with reversed magnetic shear are numerically investigated based on a set of reduced magnetohydrodynamics(MHD)equations.Cases with different separations △_(rs)=|r_(s2)-r_(s1)|between the two same rational surfaces are considered.In the small △_(rs)cases,the plasma radiation destabilizes the NDTMs and makes the kinetic energy still grow gradually in the late nonlinear phase.Moreover,the NDTM harmonics with high mode numbers reach a high level in the presence of plasma radiation,forming a broad spectrum of MHD perturbations that induces a radially broadened region of MHD turbulence.As a result,the profiles of safety factors also enter a nonlinear oscillation phase.In the intermediate △_(rs)case,the plasma radiation can advance the explosive burst of kinetic energy that results from the fast driven reconnection between the two rational surfaces,because it can further promote the destabilizing effects of bootstrap current perturbation on the magnetic island near the outer rational surfaces.In the large △_(rs)case,through destabilizing the outer islands significantly,the plasma radiation can even induce the explosive burst in the reversed magnetic shear configuration where the burst cannot be induced in the absence of plasma radiation.
文摘Using solar wind observation near PSP perihelions as constraints,we have investigated the parameters in various PFSS model methods.It is found that the interplanetary magnetic field extrapolation with source surface height R_(SS)=2 Rs is better than that with R_(SS)=2.5 Rs.HMI and GONG magnetograms show similar performances in the simulation of magnetic field variation,but the former appears to have a slight advantage in reconstruction of intensity while the latter is more adaptable to sparser grids.The finite-difference method of constructing eigenvalue problems for potential fields can achieve similar accuracy as the analytic method and greatly improve the computational efficiency.MHD modeling performs relatively less well in magnetic field prediction,but it is able to provide rich information about solar-terrestrial space.

文摘The linear behavior of the dominant unstable mode(m=2,n=1)and its high order harmonics(m=2n,n≥2)are numerically investigated in a reversed magnetic shear cylindrical plasma with two q=2 rational surfaces on the basis of the non-reduced magnetohydrodynamics(MHD)equations.The results show that with low beta(beta is defined as the ratio of plasma pressure to magnetic field pressure),the dominant mode is a classical double tearing mode(DTM).However,when the beta is sufficiently large,the mode is driven mainly by plasma pressure.In such a case,both the linear growth rate and mode structures are strongly affected by pressure,while almost independent of the resistivity.This means that the dominant mode undergoes a transition from DTM to pressure-driven mode with the increase of pressure,which is consistent with the experimental result in ASDEX Upgrade.The simulations also show that the distance between two rational surfaces has an important influence on the pressure needed in mode transition.The larger the distance between two rational surfaces,the larger the pressure for driving the mode transition is.Motivated by the phenomena that the high-m modes may dominate over low-m modes at small inter-resonance distance,the high-m modes with different pressures and q profiles are studied too.
文摘The aim of this study is to examine unsteady incompressible Magnetohydrodynamic fluid flow together with soret and dufour effects on mass and heat transfer through a collapsible elastic tube. The governing equations are continuity equation, momentum equation, energy equation and concentration equation. The velocity, temperature and concentration profiles together with heat and mass transfer rate were determined. The system of nonlinear partial differential equations governing the flow solved numerically by applying collocation method and implemented in MATLAB. The numerical solution of the profiles displayed both by graphically and numerically for different values of the physical parameters entering into the problem. The effects of varying various parameters such as Reynolds number, Hartmann number, Soret number, Dufour number and Prandtl number on velocity, temperature and concentration profiles also the rate of heat and mass transfer are discussed. The study is significant because heat and mass transfer mechanisms with the soret and dufour effects considerations play an important role due to its wide range of application including but not limited to medical fields, biological sciences and other physical sciences where collapsible tubes are applied.

文摘This study investigates the suction and magnetic field effects on the two-dimensional nanofluid flow through a stretching/shrinking sheet at the stagnation point in the porous medium with thermal radiation.The governing partial differential equations(PDEs)are converted into ordinary differential equations(ODEs)using the similarity transformation.The resulting ODEs are then solved numerically by using the bvp4c solver in MATLAB software.It was found that dual solutions exist for the shrinking parameter values up to a certain range.The numerical results obtained are compared,and the comparison showed a good agreement with the existing results in the literature.The governing parameters’effect on the velocity,temperature and nanoparticle fraction fields as well as the skin friction coefficient,the local Nusselt number and the Sherwood number are represented graphically and analyzed.The variation of the velocity,temperature and concentration increase with the increase in the suction and magnetic field parameters.It seems that the thermal radiation effect has increased the local Sherwood number while the local Nusselt number is reduced with it.
