Abstract
Magnetohydrodynamic turbulent channel flows under a uniform magnetic field are studied by using a large eddy simulation technique. The effect of a uniform magnetic field is incorporated into the subgrid-scale model in the form of a local damping factor. Compared with the experiment, this model is shown to work better than the usual Smagorinsky model in both turbulent and laminar states. This model predicts the detailed structures of the present flows, for which, one-point global turbulence models of ensemble mean type are helpless.
