In this paper, we consider the problem of the steady-state fully developed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a conducting fluid through a channel with arbitrary wall conductivity in the presence of a transverse external magnetic field with various inclined angles. The coupled governing equations for both axial velocity and induced magnetic field are firstly transformed into decoupled Poisson-type equations with coupled boundary conditions. Then the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM) [20] is used to solve the Poisson-type equations. As testing examples, flows in channels of three different crosssections, rectangular, circular and triangular, are calculated. It is shown that solutions obtained by the DRBEM with constant elements are accurate for Hartmann number up to 8 and for large conductivity parameters comparing to exact solutions and solutions by the finite element method (FEM).

Eddy current non-destructive testing is used to determine position and size of cracks or other defects in conducting materials. The presence of a crack normal to the excited eddy currents distorts the magnetic field; so for the identification of defects a very accurate and fast 3D-computation of the magnetic field is necessary. A computation scheme for 3D quasistatic electromagnetic fields by means of the Boundary Element Method is presented. Although the use of constant field approximations on boundary elements is the easiest way, it often provides an insufficient accuracy. This can be overcome by higher order approximation schemes. The numerical results are compared against some analytically solvable arrangements.
