Experimental and Theoretical Study of Magnetohydrodynamic Ship Models
David Cébron, Sylvain Viroulet, Jérémie Vidal +2
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ships represent a clear demonstration of the Lorentz force in fluids, which explains the number of students practicals or exercises described on the web.…
Experimental evidence of Alfvén wave propagation in a Gallium alloy
Thierry Alboussiere, Philippe Cardin, François Debray +5
Experiments with a liquid metal alloy, galinstan, are reported and show clear evidence of Alfvén wave propagation as well as resonance of Alfvén modes. Galinstan is liquid at room…
Zonal shear and super-rotation in a magnetized spherical Couette flow experiment
Daniel Brito, Thierry Alboussière, Philippe Cardin +6
We present measurements performed in a spherical shell filled with liquid sodium, where a 74 mm-radius inner sphere is rotated while a 210 mm-radius outer sphere is at rest. The in…
Experimental study of super-rotation in a magnetostrophic spherical Couette flow
Henri-Claude Nataf, Thierry Alboussière, Daniel Brito +5
We report measurements of electric potentials at the surface of a spherical container of liquid sodium in which a magnetized inner core is differentially rotating. The azimuthal an…
