The analysis of the influence of the ferromagnetic rod in an annular magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pump

This paper deals with the 2D modelisation of an annular induction magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pump using finite volume method in cylindrical coordinates and taking into consideration the saturation of the ferromagnetic material. The influence of the ferromagnetic rod on the different characteristics, in the channel of the MHD pump was studied in the paper.
