Three-Dimensional Numerical Study of the Flow Past a Magnetic Obstacle
Flows of electrically conducting liquids in external magnetic fields are present in several applications. In this kind of flow, the inhomogeneous magnetic field creates a breaking force on the conducting fluid. As a result, a stagnant zone is formed in the zone affected by the localized field so that the fluid flows around it. Wakes in magnetohydrodynamic flows present interesting challenges since they offer a wider dynamical behavior if compared with the flow past a solid body and so far have been very poorly explored. In this work, numerical simulation are compared with experimental results of the flow past a magnetic obstacle in a rectangular duct. Laminar and turbulent regimes were obtained in the experiment and stationary patterns were observed.
