MHD channel flow under alternating pressure gradient

OSTI ID:4340977

The method of Laplace transform has been employed here to investigate the flow of a conducting liquid between a pair of parallel plates. The liquid is subjected to alternating pressure gradient along its direction of flow and a uniform transverse magnetic field. Criteria for laminar and turbulent motions is found to rest on two parameters, the Hartmann number and the Reynolds number appearing in the expression for velocity. Motion is found to be purely laminar for large Hartmann number and low Reynolds number, whereas turbulence appears for smaller Hartmann number and higher Reynolds number. (auth)
