Magnetohydrodynamic drag on an oscillating sphere in a rotating spherical cavity
David Cébron, Paolo Personnettaz
Oscillating-sphere drag is a classical fluid-mechanics problem, yet no theory simultaneously accounts for confinement, rotation, viscosity and magnetic fields. We consider a conduc…
The effect of split endcaps on the flow dynamics in a tall Taylor-Couette setup
A. Mishra, P. Personnettaz, G. Mamatsashvili +2
The effects of axial boundaries, or endcaps are of fundamental interest in many Taylor-Couette (TC) flow experiments. A main challenge in those experiments has been to minimize the…
Layer coupling between solutal and thermal convection in liquid metal batteries
Paolo Personnettaz, Tanja Sophia Klopper, Norbert Weber +1
For longer than one decade, liquid metal batteries (LMBs) are developed with the primary aim to provide economic stationary energy storage. Featuring two liquid metal electrodes se…
Conductivity influence on interfacial waves in liquid metal batteries and related two-layer systems
Tom Weier, Ilmars Grants, Gerrit Maik Horstmann +5
Fluid flows in liquid metal batteries can be generated by a number of effects. We start with a short overview of different driving mechanisms and then address questions specific to…
Effects of current distribution on mass transport in the positive electrode of a liquid metal battery
Paolo Personnettaz, Steffen Landgraf, Michael Nimtz +2
Liquid metal electrodes are one of the key components of different electrical energy storage technologies. The understanding of transport phenomena in liquid electrodes is mandator…
