Abstract
A direct numerical simulation (DNS) of turbulent free surface flow with a constant magnetic field has been carried out to grasp and understand the effects of electromagnetic suppression of turbulence. In this study, the Reynolds number based on bulk velocity and a film depth was set to be constant, Reb=2300. The constant static magnetic field at Ha=20 and 30 for the streamwise orientation and at Ha=5 and 10 for the spanwise orientation were considered in the electrical potential equation. The number of computational grids used in this study was 256×128×128 in the x-, y- and z-directions, respectively. The turbulent quantities such as the mean flow, turbulent stresses and the turbulent statistics were obtained. The mean velocity and turbulent intensities distributed from the wall to the free surface are damped quickly near wall region, because of the electromagnetic effects.
