The present work studies the magnetohydrodynamic flow of a Newtonian fluid as a complementary case of the simple flow in a parallel plate channel. The effects of kinematic parameters and the influence of the transverse and uniform magnetic field on the fields of speed, flow and shear rate are analyzed. To solve the equations that govern movement, the Laplace Transform technique was used, and the Python programming language and wxMaxima program for the construction of graphs and convergence analysis, respectively. The results obtained were analyzed for different values of the Hartmann’s number and the limit case in which this parameter tends to zero compared to the simple flow in the absence of a field. The study showed the effect of the magnetic field on the velocity profile and other derived properties. And the limit case proved to be compatible with the case in which there is no magnetic field applied. In general, the work proved to be valid as a complementary study of the simple case, since the results obtained for the limit case clearly express its tendency towards the simple case presented by the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
