ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Fusion Energy
This division promotes the development and timely introduction of fusion energy as a sustainable energy source with favorable economic, environmental, and safety attributes. The division cooperates with other organizations on common issues of multidisciplinary fusion science and technology, conducts professional meetings, and disseminates technical information in support of these goals. Members focus on the assessment and resolution of critical developmental issues for practical fusion energy applications.

Turbulence intensities in a closed rectangular channel were measured under the influence of a transverse magnetic field in the range of Reynolds numbers between 5.3 × 104 and 2.8 × 105 and Hartmann numbers between 0 and 1500. The intensities were found to be suppressed exponentially by the field in the range M2/Re <0.12. Skin-friction measurements were also obtained during the experiment. The measurements were found to be lower than the theoretical magneto-fluid-mechanic laminar predictions for values of M/Re > 25 × 104. This phenomenon was attributed to magnetic entrance effects.
