The coupled finite element method - finite volume method are applied to solve magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow equations and the thermal equation in the linear induction MHD pump taking into account the saturation of the ferromagnetic materials. This study is done using the stream-vorticity formulation. The purpose of this paper is to represent the velocity and the temperature respectively in linear and non linear cases because it is required to have the knowledge of the flow and the temperature to design an MHD pump. Additionally, the effect of the electromagnetic thrust on the flow distribution in a linear induction MHD pump is studied.

This work is located in the domain of distributed information retrieval (DIR). A simplified view of the DIR requires a multi-search in a set of collections, which forces the system to analyze results found in these collections, and merge results back before sending them to the user in a single list. Our work is to find a fusion method based on the relevance score of each result received from collections and the relevance of the local search engine of each collection, which is the main issue of our work.

In this paper, versatile structures based on dissimilar metallic nano-particles (Ag, Au, Ti, Al) are proposed to enhance the ZnO thin film optical performance for both optoelectronic and environment monitoring applications. An Exhaustive study of the proposed structure including metallic nano-particles has been performed numerically, in order to evaluate the optical behavior of the proposed ZnO thin films against the conventional design for optoelectronic applications. The numerical computations reveal that the proposed design exhibits an outstanding capability in improving the overall device optical parameters. In addition, the proposed device with Al metallic nano-particles offers superior absorbance as well as lower reflectance as compared to the conventional design. These achievements can be attributed essentially to the localized surface plasma resonance phenomenon and the improved light trapping capability resulted from the optical confinement effect. The recorded results signify the crucial role of the proposed feature in improving the ZnO thin films optical performance, which makes it very promising to be used in the future high performance optoelectronic devices.
