Abstract
This study presents the turbulent flow around two square ribs. The numerical computations performed using k–ε model at Reynolds number (Re) = 60000 to quantify the turbulent transport measures. The magnetic field has been applied by Hartmann number (Ha) to generate the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow. The reduction of recirculation region was observed due to the application of magnetic field in the flow. The weak recirculation has an effect on small vorticity generation, which leads to small turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and TKE dissipation rate generation in the wake region behind the rib. The induced magnetic field is capable of controlling the vortex structures around the square ribs. Results in decreasing magnitude of turbulence level around and between the spaces of the square ribs. It may be hypothesized that by introducing magnetic field, the unwanted vibrations (due to vortex shedding behind the rib) of fully submerged structures can be controlled.
