| Abstract |
This paper presents the flow characteristics in the fluid circulation loop using the tubular type linear induction motor(TLIM) electromagnetic pump. A TLIM of thrust 40[N] is analyzed using the equivalent and genetic algorithm for the system. The flow characteristics are analyzed by coupling the Maxwell equations with the Navier-Stokes equation with the thrust. The analysis algorithm is developed for analyzing the liquid metal flow in the system for laminar and turbulent flow. And the effect of thrust is analyzed for the flow characteristics. |
