I Any free MHD software recomended?

AI Thread Summary
For studying magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and molten metal interactions with magnetic fields, OpenFOAM and MHD-ES are recommended free software options. OpenFOAM is an open-source CFD tool with MHD capabilities, while MHD-ES is developed by the European Space Agency. Using Autodesk's CFD for MHD simulations is possible but may require customization and coding to implement the necessary equations. Consulting Autodesk support or field experts is advisable for guidance on feasibility and requirements. These resources can help facilitate effective MHD simulations for your research.

I'm currently searhing for a magnetohydrodynamics simulator to study how different molten metals interact with variating magnetic fields, is there any free (preferebly) simulator that someone recomends in particular?
And also, is there any way to use Autodesk's CFD to create a MHD simulation?

There are a few free MHD software options that you could consider for your study. One popular choice is OpenFOAM, which is an open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that also has MHD capabilities. Another option is MHD-ES, which is a free MHD simulation software developed by the European Space Agency.

As for using Autodesk's CFD for MHD simulations, it is possible but it may require additional customization and coding to incorporate the necessary equations and models for MHD. It would be best to consult with Autodesk support or experts in the field to determine the feasibility and requirements for using their software for MHD simulations.

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'

Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
