Definition of Conductive Fluids and Magnetohydrodynamics
Definition
Magnetohydrodynamics is the model or field that deals with (electrically) conducting fluids in which charged particles are present together with a fluid.
Explanation 1
Unlike magnetic fluids, conducting fluids can have varied ionic composition and concentrations, and the concept can arise in various contexts involving the penetration of magnetic fields.
Because the term “conducting fluid” is not firmly established, it is advisable when surveying related research to use the keyword magnetohydrodynamics. Conducting fluids can play a central role in many problems such as heat transfer and mass transport.
The primary research approach is Computational fluid dynamics, in which the complex system of partial differential equations is typically solved by methods such as the finite difference method to simulate and analyze the system.
