Abstract
MHD heat transfer in liquid metal flow in heated channels with a cross-section of simple geometry (a round tube or a rectangular channel) affected by a magnetic field is investigated numerically using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. The approach is based on solving averaged Reynolds equations using the ANES20XE CFD code developed at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute. Tables 1, Figs 8, Refs 15.
