Electrodynamic processes in MHD channels with high magnetic Reynolds numbers
Abstract
The current theoretical and experimental status of electrodynamic processes in MHD channel in the presence of strong induced magnetic fields is reviewed. Some aspects of the formulation of corresponding boundary value problems are examined, along with methods of solution. The local and integral characteristics of MHD channels at large magnetic Reynolds number are analyzed. New results are presented, concerning the influence of induced magnetic fields in two-channel MHD devices in the presence of effects caused by the three-dimensionality of the electromagnetic field distribution.
