Numerical Study of an AC Electromagnetic Pump of Liquid Metal Flow
Keywords:
AC magnetic pump, MHD flow, finite volume method, finite element method.Abstract
This work presents the results of a 2D numerical magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of an electromagnetic AC pump for liquid metal. The flow characteristics of the MHD pump are analyzed by coupling electromagnetic with Navier-Stokes equations, and the thermic phenomena are analyzed by coupling Maxwell’s equations with energy equations. In this study, numerical simulation based on the finite element method was carried out using the computer package COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5. The application and the limits of the electromagnetic, hydrodynamic, and thermic models are discussed herein.
