  • The principle of the MHD generation is based on Faraday's law of induction that a eletromotive force(u ${\times}$ B) is generated when the working gas of velocity u flows a channel in which magnetic field of strength(B) exists. In MHD power generation system, enthalpy of the working gas is converted to electric power directly through expansion in generator channel. It means that electric power can be generated without moving mechanical linkage such as turbine blades. There are two types in the MHD generator; linear type Faraday and disk type hall generator. Disk type hall generator is the main target of this paper. Isentropic efficiency and enthalpy extraction rate of disk type shock tube driven hall generator is discussed here.

  • A stability analysis in the geomagentotail is presented within MHD limit with a modified form ideal Ohm's law. Using the high ky approximation (ballooning limit), we derive the basic eigenmode equations which can be reduced to the ideal MHD limit. The incompressible limit is numerically solved for a number of model equilibria of tail by Kan [1973], and we have found no unstable Kan equilibrium. Also, an analytic theory is carried out for the case where Bkc is assumed to be constant along the field line, following the idea by Lee and Min [1996]. In that case, it is suggested that the tail stability to the incompressible antisymmetric mode is determined by the ideal MHD.

  • Supersonic turbulence is believed to decay rapidly within a flow crossing time irrespective of the degree of magnetization. However, this consensus of decaying magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence relies on local isothermal simulations, which are unable to investigate the role of global magnetic fields and structures. Utilizing three-dimensional MHD simulations including interstellar cooling and heating, we investigate decaying MHD turbulence within cold neutral medium sheets embedded in warm neutral medium. Early evolution is consistent with previous studies characterized rapid decay of turbulence with the decaying time shorter than a flow crossing time and power-law temporal decay of turbulent kinetic energy with slope of -1. If initial magnetic fields are strong and perpendicular to the sheet, however long term evolutions of kinetic energy shows that a significant amount of turbulent energy still remains even after ten flow crossing times, and decaying rate is reduced as field strengths increase. We analyse power spectra of remaining turbulence to show that incompressible, in-plane motions dominate.

  • Fixed boundary MHD static equilibrium for the axisymmetric toroidal plasma is analyzed numerically. The Grad-Shafranov equation is solved using finite element method. The toroidal current term is expressed by plasma pressure and toroidal field function. The numerical results are compared to the Solovev analytic equilibrium for the verification of the solution. For SNUT-79 tokamak device in Seoul National University, the flux surfaces, the toroidal current profiles, the safety factor q and average beta values are obtained when the p and g profiles are varied.

  • In this study the magneto hydrodynamic (MHD) micro polar fluid flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past a porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction is considered. This work is devoted to investigate the Soret effect and Electromagnetic radiation effect and analyze analytically. In the energy equation the applied magnetic field strength and in the concentration equation the Soret effect are incorporated. The basic PDE (partial differential equations) are reduced to ODE (ordinary differential equations) using non dimensional variables. Then the analytical solution of the dimensionless equations are found using perturbation technique. The features of the fluid flow parameters are analyzed, discussed and explained graphically. The graphical solutions are found using MATLAB R2019b. Skin friction coefficient at the wall, Couple stress coefficient at the plate and the local surface heat flux are also thoroughly examined. Overall, this study sheds light on the complex interplay between physical parameters in the behavior of MHD micro-polar fluid past a porous medium in the presence of chemical reaction.

  • We developed a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code to reproduce the structure of a solar wind, the properties of a coronal mass ejection (CME) and the interaction between them. This MHD code is based on the finite volume method incorporating total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme with an unstructured grid system. In particular, this grid system can avoid the singularity at the north and south poles and relax tight CFL conditions around the poles, both of which would arise in a spherical coordinate system (Tanaka 1994). In this model, we first apply an MHD tomographic method (Hayashi et al. 2003) to interplanetary scintillation (IPS) observational data and derive a solar wind from the physical values obtained at 50 solar radii away from the Sun. By comparing the properties of this solar wind to observational data obtained near the Earth orbit, we confirmed that our model captures the velocity, temperature and density profiles of a solar wind near the Earth orbit. We then insert a spheromak-type CME (Kataoka et al. 2009) into the solar wind to reproduce an actual CME event. This has been done by introducing a time-dependent boundary condition to the inner boundary of our simulation domain. On the basis of a comparison between a simulated CME and observations near the Earth, we discuss the physics involved in an ICME interacting with a solar wind.
