Interaction between Multi-Directional Rotating MHD Flows of Liquid Metal in a Cylindrical Channel
摘要
Abstract
The stability of the mixing layer in a cylindrical cell between two counter-rotating vortex flows created by electromagnetic forces is investigated numerically. The flow is described during the development of instability. The resulting Kelvin–Helmholtz instability becomes a source of small disturbances and leads to turbulent mixing of the liquid. The second and third modes of flow make the greatest contribution to the development of disturbances.
