It is widely known that cosmic magnetic fields, ie the fields of planets, stars, and galaxies, are
produced by the hydromagnetic dynamo effect in moving electrically conducting fluids. It is …

Numerical simulations of the geodynamo have successfully represented many observable
characteristics of the geomagnetic field, yielding insight into the fundamental processes that …

Solutal buoyancy has a large impact on the flow of the alloy phase composing the positive
electrode in liquid metal batteries. During discharge solutal buoyancy creates a stabilizing …

We use the multiphase magnetohydrodynamic code SFEMaNS to study the generation of
electrovortex flows in liquid metal batteries. We first reproduce some well known results in a …

The electrical current through an incompressible, viscous and resistive liquid conductor
produces an azimuthal magnetic field that becomes unstable when the corresponding …

In this paper, the coupled equations in velocity and magnetic field for unsteady
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow through a pipe of rectangular section are solved using …

The Tayler instability (TI) is a kink-type flow instability which occurs when the electrical
current through a conducting fluid exceeds a certain critical value. Originally studied in the …

In this paper, we analyze the flow and heat transfer characteristics of a
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) viscoelastic fluid in a parallel plate channel with a stretching …

The Maxwell equations in the MHD limit in heterogeneous axisymmetric domains composed
of conducting and non-conducting regions are solved by using a mixed Fourier/Lagrange …

We propose a new theoretical model for metal pad roll instability in idealized cylindrical
reduction cells. In addition to the usual destabilizing effects, we model viscous and Joule …
