Study of three dimensional MHD effects in a manifold circular pipe
- 1. Southwestern Inst. of Physics, Chengdu (China)
Description
Some new experimental results carried out in a manifold circular pipe for liquid metal MHD (Magneto-hydro-dynamic) fluid flow were presented. The velocity distributions were measured at the center plane of cross section of the joint of the manifold pipe. The instabilities of vortex street were observed in the cross section of the pipe. An expression formula of three-dimensional (3D) additional MHD pressure drop due to the manifold junction was obtained. 2D MHD effects and effect of non-fully developed flow on the experiment results were also discussed
