Funded Activity Summary

Towards a mathematical description of magneto-hydrodynamic turbulence. The project aims to better predict magneto-hydrodynamic turbulence than existing empirical models. Turbulence in high-speed flows of electrically conductive fluid sustains magnetic fields in various engineering, geophysical, and astrophysical flows. However, investigations into magneto-hydrodynamic flows have been limited to slow flows, and the application of the results to the actual problems hindered. This project aims to improve magneto-hydrodynamic flow control in future energy-generating technology, using theoretical and numerical tools that are mathematically consistent with the high-speed limit of the governing equations. More efficient electric generators could improve Australia’s future energy supply with fewer emissions of global warming gases.
