A 3-D original numerical study of entropy generation in the case of liquid metal laminar natural convection in a differentially heated cubic cavity and in the presence of an external magnetic field orthogonal to the isothermal walls is carried out. The effect of this field on the various types of irreversibilities is analyzed. It was observed that in the presence of a magnetic field the generated entropy is distributed on the entire cavity and that the magnetic field limits the 3-D character of the distribution of the generated entropy.

Abstract The electro-vortex flow of liquid metal in a cylindrical cell, placed into external vertical magnetic field, in case of axial electric current application is studied numerically and experimentally. The results are compared to those previously obtained in case of a localized electric current application. In the absence of the external magnetic field, the comparison shows no qualitative change in the flow structure. In presence of the external magnetic field, a poloidal motion is suppressed. A critical magnetic field of poloidal suppression is shown to be approximately 50% higher in case of axial electric current application.

The dark electric current arising from the contact of aluminum with clean water decreases with an increase in the induction of the external magnetic field. Changing the distance between the source of the magnetic field and the aluminum electrodes makes it possible to determine the region of formation of the dark current. It turns out that this occurs in the area of liquid-metal contact where the curvature of the electrodes is maximal.
