TL;DR: The computational modelling of welding phenomena within a versatile numerical framework embraces models from both the fields of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational solid mechanics (CSM), and cell-centred finite volume methods are employed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the interaction of an externally imposed magnetic and electric field on the laminar flow of a conducting fluid in a channel is studied using computational techniques, where the Navier-Stokes equations and the equations describing the electromagnetic field are solved simultaneously in a single control volume-type computational fluid dynamic code, in a moderate Hartmann number and interaction parameter regime.

TL;DR: In this article, an agitation method based on megasonic acoustic streaming is proposed to overcome the limitations in plating rate and uniformity of the metal deposits during the electroplating process.

TL;DR: In this article, a model for three interesting magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows has been considered, whereby predicted numerical solutions are compared with their analytical counterparts, with a Fortran attachment supplying momentum sources to the equations of motion to model the effect of an externally imposed magnetic field.

TL;DR: In this article, two different numerical approaches have been developed, which capture the motion of the deposition interface and 2-D simulations are presented for both methods under two deposition regimes: those where surface kinetics is governed by Ohm's law and the Butler-Volmer equation, respectively.
