Description:
In this work, we study the flow of a conducting fluid inside a two-dimensional square domain. The problem is solved by using a variational multiscale finite element approach. The study focuses on a high magnetic interaction parameter range and high Reynolds number. Under the imposition of a high magnetic field, the flow gets regularized, but fast transient phenomena take place, which could lead to numerical errors. An expression to compute the maximum time step that guarantees convergence in explicit schemes is proposed and validated through numerical tests.
