The magnetohydrodynamic momentum ring for satellite attitude adjustment is studied in this paper. The aim of this paper is to research the fluid field characteristic distribution in the magnetohydrodynamic momentum ring. The numerical calculation results indicate that liquid metal can produce effective rotational flow under the action of electromagnetic field. The numerical results show that the fluid ring design is effective and achieves the design expectation, and it can provide reference for the future experimental tests.
In this text, the proposed liquid momentum ring is aimed at the space mission of attitude control of satellite. The characteristic distribution of magnetic field about researched magnetohydrodynamic liquid ring is numerically simulated. The numerical calculation indicates that the magnetic field distribution design about liquid ring is appropriate, and electromagnetic force generated makes the liquid metal to rotate. The calculation results offer a data support basis to the following liquid ring optimization design and a numerical reference for following torque test experiment.
