Abstract

We study the flow of liquid metal in a cylindrical channel caused either by convection, or by external forces, and the interaction of this flow with an imposed magnetic field. The spectral characteristics of the turbulent flow generated by a combination of traveling and rotating magnetic fields are obtained. The velocity and temperature characteristics of the flow are determined when the upper boundary of the channel is subject to non-uniform heating and cooling. In addition, we consider the interaction between the spiral magnetic field and the initially homogeneous liquid metal flow, which causes the flow to become spiral as well.
