OSTI ID:4720617
Solutions are given to MHD Couette flow systems with increasing complexity. The problem of Couette flow with an oscillating transverse magnetic field is solved. The solution is obtained by means of a transformation which demonstrates the similarity between a set of transient MHD systems and a set of transient heat conduction systems. Under various conditions, the solution of the oscillating MHD system reduces to various solutions of simpler systems. Although the Couette flow system was chosen for simplicity, the results of this analysis are useful for the determination of the start-up time interval for both MHD-AC and MHD-DC systems and the steady state distortion in the alternating current output for MHD-AC systems.
