Influence of Joule Dissipation on Heat Exchange and Magnetic Hydrodynamics of Liquid in a Spherical Layer. Part I

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Results of numerical simulation of the convective heat exchange in the electrically conducting liquid flowing between two concentric isothermal spheres are presented. The influence of Joule heating of this liquid and the thickness of the spherical liquid layer on the structure of the liquid flow, the temperature and magnetic-induction fields, and the distribution of Nusselt numbers in it was investigated. Equations for simulation of the heat exchange in the spherical liquid layer in the case where the gravitational acceleration is directed to its center were derived.
