The linear MHD(magnetohydro-dynamic) machine obtains the linear motion by replacing the solid conducting secondary of LIM with the ionized gas, plasma or the liquid metal. The electromagnetic pump which is a kind of MHD machine is divided into induction pump and conduction pump. This paper shows the classification and development trends of MHD machines and the characteristics of double sided flat linear induction pump (DFLIP).

This paper deals the study of a linear MHD pump solution used to eliminate and to avoid the dangers of the mercury appearing through pollution and contamination. The formulation of the magnetohydrodynamic phenomena is derived from Maxwell and Navier-Stokes equations are solved using the finite volume method. Simulation results highlight the performance of the pump such as the electromagnetic force, the velocity, and the pressure, the application of Ansys-Fluent software validation these results.
