  • Abstract
    Mathematical models for the analysis of the linear MHD generator channel operation are described. The local phenomena are analyzed through a steady-state two-dimensional model which is based on a description of both the fluid dynamic and the electrodynamic behavior of the plasma. The transients caused by variations of the loading and by faults are studied by means of a time-dependent quasi-one-dimensional model
