Abstract In this article, the rheology of Ferro-fluid over an axisymmetric heated disc with a variable magnetic field by considering the dispersion of hybrid nanoparticles is considered. The flow is assumed to be produced by the stretching of a rotating heated disc. The contribution of variable thermophysical properties is taken to explore the momentum, mass and thermal transportation. The concept of boundary layer mechanism is engaged to reduce the complex problem into a simpler one in the form of coupled partial differential equations system. The complex coupled PDEs are converted into highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations system (ODEs) and the… More >

Abstract The so-called surface Magneto-hydro-dynamic (MHD) propulsion relies on the Lorentz force induced in weak electrolyte solutions (such as seawater or plasma) by NdFeB Magnets. The Lorentz force plays an important role in such dynamics as it directly affects the structures of flow boundary layers. Previous studies have mainly focused on the development of such boundary layers and related fluid-dynamic aspects. The main focus of the present study is the determination of electromagnetic field distributions around the propulsion units. In particular dedicated experiments and numerical simulations (based on the finite volume method) are conducted considering a NACA0012 airfoil immersed in seawater.… More >

Abstract The suppression of unstable Marangoni convection in floating-zone crystal growth by magnetic fields has enjoyed over recent years a widespread use as a reliable and useful strategy. A transversal direction of the field is particularly efficient, but asymmetric zone shapes and thus segregation are induced. Counter-rotation of the feed and of the crystal rods is a common way to improve dopant homogeneity. However, its effects under magnetic fields are complex and have not yet been studied in detail. In the present analysis, three-dimensional (3D) simulations based on a finite-volume/multigrid method are used to illustrate the effects of rotation on the… More >
