SIMULATION OF THE CONVECTIVE HEAT EXCHANGE IN THE SPHERICAL LAYER OF AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING LIQUID

Results of numerical simulation of the convective heat exchange in the electrically conducting liquid fl owing in the space between two concentric isothermal spheres are presented. The infl uence of the Joule heat dissipation, the electromagnetic forces, and the Grashof number on the structure of the liquid fl ow, its temperature and magneticinduction fi elds, and the distribution of Nusselt numbers in it was investigated.
