On Analytical Solution of a Plasma Flow over a Moving Plate under the Effect of an Applied Magnetic Field

الملخص EN

Our objective of this investigation is to mainly focus on the behavior of a plasma gas that is bounded by a moving rigid flat plate; its motion is damping with time.

The effects of an external magnetic field on the electrons collected with each other, with positive ions, and with neutral atoms in the plasma fluid are studied.

The BGK type of the Boltzmann kinetic equation is used to study the gas dynamics various regimes with Maxwellian velocity distribution functions.

An analytical solution of the model equations for the unsteady flow was given using the moment and the traveling wave methods.

The manner of the mean velocity of plasmas is illustrated, which is compatible with the variation of the shear stress, viscosity coefficient, and the initial and boundary conditions.

Besides, the thermodynamic prediction is investigated by applying irreversible thermodynamic principles and extended Gibbs formula.

Finally, qualitative agreements with previous related papers were demonstrated using 3-dimensional graphics for calculating the variables.

The significance of this study is due to its vast applications in numerous fields such as in physics, engineering, commercial, and industrial applications.
