Three-dimensional rotational MHD flows in bounded volumes

Аннотация

Three-dimensional laminar flows of a viscous conducting gas in the neighborhood of a rotating disk are considered. The simultaneous impact of an external magnetic field, suction from the disk surface, and the axial temperature gradient as well as the action of the external axial magnetic field on three-dimensional flows in the neighborhood of rigid permeable surfaces are first studied. An exact analytic solution of the system of the boundary layer equations is obtained. It is found that the direction of the radial flow initiated in the boundary layer can be varied by changing the temperature ratio in the external flow and on the disk for various Prandtl numbers Pr. An approximate solution of the problem of flow in the rotating cylinder in the presence of a retarding cover is constructed on the basis of the approach developed for extended disks.
