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 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
