Summary on Grant Application Form
The damping influence of steady magnetic fields on liquid metal movements has been extensively studied for well-known driving forces. The proposed research programme aims at extending these studies to the case of buoyancy-driven flows at high Rayleigh-number values. The liquid metal is usually stratified in temperature and thermal and/or dynamical boundary layers are present. Increasing the magnetic field magnitude possesses the indirect effect of modifying the thermal field, through the damping of the velocity field. This rich coupling, which is thought to be likely, in many large-scale applications of liquid metals under magnetic fields, will be examined using asymptotic analysis and numerical modelling. The knowledge of the associated transfers will be of particular interest.
