Numerical Analysis of Thermosolutal MHD Convection in a Vertical Porous Pipe Using Chebyshev Collocation
摘要
This paper describes a numerical study of thermosolutal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection in a vertical porous pipe using the Chebyshev spectral collocation method. The flow is assumed to be fully developed, electrically conducting, and subjected to internal heat generation or absorption in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. Fluid motion is driven by combined effects of thermal and solutal buoyancy forces together with an imposed axial pressure gradient. The porous medium is modeled using the non-Darcy Brinkman–Forchheimer extended formulation to incorporate both viscous diffusion and inertial resistance effects. A systematic parametric analysis is performed to examine the influence of the Hartmann number (Ha), heat generation/absorption parameter (q), buoyancy ratio (N), and Forchheimer number (F) on the velocity and temperature fields. The results show that increasing the Hartmann number from 0 to 40 suppresses the peak velocity by
