Abstract The current study is focused on the magnetohydrodynamics and demonstrates how electrical conductivity of the wall can affect the turbulent flow in the square duct. Different variations of the boundary walls have been considered including arbitrary conductive walls. The Large Eddy Simulations method with the dynamic Smagorinsky sub-grid scale model have been used for the turbulent structures resolving. Results show the significant impact of the wall conductance parameters for both Hartmann and side walls.

Large-eddy simulation (LES) of a lean-direct injection (LDI) combustor is reported in this paper. The full combustor and all the six swirl vanes are resolved and both cold and reacting flow simulations are performed. Cold flow predictions with LES indicate the presence of a broad central recirculation zone due to vortex breakdown phenomenon near the dump plane and two corner recirculation zones at the top and bottom corner of the combustor. These predicted features compare well with the experimental non-reacting data. Reacting case simulated a liquid Jet-A fuel spray using a Lagrangian approach. A three-step kinetics model that included CO and NO is used for the chemistry. Comparison of mean velocity field predicted in the reacting LES with experiments shows reasonable agreement. Comparison with the non-reacting case shows that the centerline recirculation bubble is shorter but more intense in the reacting case.
