The objective of this article is to examine, stabilize, and linearize the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic model equations. The approximate solutions are carried out through the lowest equal order mixed finite element (FE) approach, involving variables such as fluid velocity, hydro pressure, magnetic field, and magnetic pressure. The formulation of the variational form for the approximate solution necessitates the use of a pair of approximating spaces. However, these spaces cannot be arbitrarily chosen; they must adhere to strict stability conditions, notably the Ladyzhenskaya–Babuska–Brezzi (LBB) or inf-sup condition. This study addresses the absence of stabilization and linearization techniques in the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic model equations using the lowest equal order mixed finite element approach. The article introduces a stabilization technique to meet two stability conditions, proving its existence and uniqueness. This novel approach was not previously explored in the literature. The proposed stabilized technique does not necessitate parameters or computing higher-order derivatives, making it computationally efficient. The study offers numerical tests demonstrating optimal convergence and effectiveness of the revised approach in two-dimensional settings. Full article

Rectangular cylinders have the potential to provide valuable insights into the behavior of fluids in a variety of real-world applications. Keeping this in mind, the current study compares the behavior of fluid flow around rectangular cylinders with an aspect ratio (AR) of 1:2 or 2:1 under the effect of the Reynolds number (Re). The incompressible lattice Boltzmann method is used for numerical computations. It is found that the flow characteristics are highly influenced by changes in the aspect ratio compared to the Reynolds number. The flow exhibits three different regimes: Regime I (steady flow), Regime II (initial steady flow that becomes unsteady afterward), and Regime III (completely unsteady flow). In the case of the cylinder with an aspect ratio of 2:1, vortex generation, variation in drag, and the lift coefficient occur much earlier at very low Reynolds numbers compared to the cylinder with an aspect ratio of 1:2. For the cylinder with an aspect ratio of 1:2, the Reynolds number ranges for Regimes I, II, and III are 1 Re 120, 121 Re 144, and 145 Re 200, respectively. For the cylinder with an aspect ratio of 2:1, the Reynolds number ranges for Regimes I, II, and III are 1 Re 24, 25 Re 39, and 40 Re 200, respectively. The cylinder with an aspect ratio of 1:2 is found to have the ability to stabilize the incoming flow due to its extended after-body flatness. Generally, it has been found that a cylinder with an AR of 2:1 is subjected to higher pressures, higher drag forces, higher curvatures of cross-flow rotations, and higher amplitudes of flow-induced drag, as well as higher lift coefficients and lower shedding frequencies, compared to cylinders with an AR of 1:2. In Regime III, elliptic and vertically mounted airfoil-like flow structures are also observed in the wake of the cylinders. Full article
