Characteristics of a Liquid Metal Flow Generated by a Travelling Magnetic Field in a Hollow Cylindrical Channel and a Channel with a Coaxial Insert
摘要
Abstract
The liquid metal velocities and the processes of formation of the reversal flow in a hollow cylindrical channel and a cylindrical channel with an insert in different flow modes are compared. Velocity profiles and pressure drop–flow rate characteristic are obtained. It is shown that, at the same electromagnetic force, the metal velocity and flow rate in the channel with an insert are higher than in the cylindrical channel due to a decrease in the contribution of the reversal flow.
