Numerical simulations of a fully developed liquid-metal magnetohydrodynamic flow in a circular duct

In this paper, a kind of new meshless method, two-level radial point interpolation method, has been developed to analyze the fully developed liquid-metal Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow under the externally applied magnetic field in a circular duct with thin conducting walls. This method applied the...
