| Summary: | Electromagnetic pumps have several advantages to mechanical pumps. They offer maneuverability by directional thrust
along with quietness and are conceived with an aim of eliminating all moving parts, being also free from problems of
wear and tiredness of use. The flow field in the channel is treated as steady state, incompressible and fully developed
laminar flow conditions. Our numerical code DCPMHD uses cylindrical coordinates (r,ϕ , z) and solves the
incompressible MHD equations for magnetic vector potential A and fluid velocity V. Using finite volume method for
numerical calculation. The numerical results of the performance characteristics of a DC electromagnetic pump are
discussed and show that our new concept is capable to deliver bi-directional activation and have a satisfactory
controllability, because of its proportional output force and input current relationship.
