Applications: • large-scale single crystal growth, • control of spray atomization in combustion processes, • reduction of drag of marine vehicles, • flow control in hypersonics, • fast response shock absorbers, • hydraulic transmission in automotive industry, • free-flow electrophoretic separation in pharmaceutics, • large scale liquid based food processing, • biological transport processes influenced by EM fields, • fuel cells and batteries, • electro-polymers and other smart materials, etc.
CONCLUSIONS Starting from fundamental principles and material constitutive relations, a complete analytical model (EMGD) was derived for combined influence of unsteady electric and magnetic fields on a moving compressible fluid that is polarizable and magnetizable. A simpler model of the EMGD was then derived by neglecting the terms which are higher than the secondorder . A complete model for the incompressible flow-field under the combined influence of unsteady electric and magnetic fields (EMHD) was derived in a consistent manner. The EMHD model allows for non-linear cross effects of electro-magnetic field and clearly specifies which physical properties need to be known for the modeling of such flows.
