Three-dimensional MHD flow and heat transfer in a channel with internal obstacle [PDF]

, 2018
The magnetohydrodynamic flow and heat transfer of a liquid metal in a channel past a circular cylinder with walls of non-uniform conductivity were investigated. The applied magnetic field was transversal to the forced flow (x-direction) and coplanar with
