Liquid Metal Flow

A liquid-metal flow driven by a rotating magnetic field in a finite-length cylinder is studied numerically as a function of the field frequency. In the high-frequency case, the magnetic field is expelled from the liquid-metal except in a skin-depth layer along the side and top walls of the cylinder. In the corner region, where the skin-depth layers intersect, the body force exhibits a large positive and negative azimuthal component as well as inward radial and axial components which are rotational. The flows for various frequencies are compared to the low-frequency flow.
