Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamics – astrophysical relevance and engineering applications

Liquid Metal Magnetohydrodynamics – astrophysical relevance and engineering applications

Gerbeth, G.; Grants, I.; Gundrum, T.; Stefani, F.

Magnetic fields influence the motion of liquid metals, but the melt motion modifies magnetic field distributions as well. Eventually, melt motions are able to create a magnetic field, known as the dynamo effect.
We present various laboratory experiments demonstrating this interaction between the flow and magnetic fields.
