Evolution of coronal mass ejection/shock system in interplanetary space

The evolution of coronal mass ejection/shock system is investigated by numerically solving the usual set of two-dimensional single-fluid polytropic magnetohydrodynamic equations from 1 R_s to 1 AU in the meridian plane. The simulation result reveals that the coronal mass ejection/shock system formed near the sun evolves into the magnetic cloud/shock system near the earth’s orbit through the following three phases: the initial formation, the dominant latitudinal expansion and the similar expansion.

Investigation of MHD power generation with supersonic non-equilibrium RF discharge

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) power generation with supersonic non-equilibrium plasma is demonstrated. Capacitively coupled radio frequency (RF) discharge (6 MHz, maximum continual power output of 200 W) was adopted to ionize the Mach number 3.5 (650 m/s), 0.023 kg/m3 airflow. In a MHD channel of 16 mm × 10 mm × 20 mm, MHD open voltage of 10 V is realized in the magnetic field of 1.25 T, and power of 0.12 mW is extracted steadily and con-tinuously in the magnetic field of 1 T. The reasons for limited power generation are proposed as:low conductivity of RF discharge; large touch resistance between MHD electrode and plasma;strong current eddies due to flow boundary layer. In addition, the cathode voltage fall is too low to have obvious effects on MHD power generation.

Numerical analysis of deflection control of a gas plasma jet based on magnetohydrodynamic staggered electrode configuration

To control the deflection of the gas plasma jet, a new analytical method is proposed based on the Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) technique. Based on the typical MHD power generation model, the applied voltage is applied to the staggered electrodes, that is, a pair of electrodes on the same side wall are connected to generate an axial current in the channel. Under the action of the magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of the flow, the plasma is subjected to electromagnetic forces perpendicular to these two directions, and the jet is deflected. The computational model including the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with electromagnetic source terms, the electric potential equation and Ohm’s law is solved. The deflection of the gas jet under the action of an electromagnetic field is observed, and the maximum deflection angle is about 14.8°. The influences of the electric field, magnetic field, and conductivity on the jet deflection are studied. Results show that although the influences of these three factors on the deflection are similar, and the effect of increasing the electric field strength is slightly greater, priority should be given to increasing the magnetic field strength from the perspective of reducing energy consumption. The Stuart number is introduced to assess the ability of electromagnetic force to control jet deflection. When the electromagnetic parameters are constant, this solution provides better control of low-density and low-speed fluid flows. The calculation results show that using the staggered electrode method configuration is feasible in terms of controlling the deflection of a plasma jet deflection.
