2619 ナノサイズチャンネル内液体流れの電場による駆動に関する分子動力学法解析(S44-3 マイクロ・ナノ流れの数値解析,S44 マイクロ・ナノフルイディクス)  [in Japanese] 2619 Molecular dynamics analyses on driving of liquid flow in nano-size channel by electric field  [in Japanese]

Three-dimensional numerical analyses have been performed on liquid-metal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows through a circular pipe in the inlet region of an applied magnetic field, including a sufficient region upstream the magnetic field section. The continuity equation, the momentum equations including the Lorentz force term and the induction equations derived from basic equations in electromagnetism have been solved by the finite difference method. Along the flow axis, i.e. the channel axis, the pressure decreases slightly as normal non-MHD flow, increases once, thereafter decreases sharply and finally decreases as fully-developed MHD flow.
