Investigation of the flow driven by an alternating magnetic field

Abstract

The flow induced by a single-phase alternating magnetic field is studied numerically and in a physical model. It is shown that the flow structure depends drastically on the frequency of the field, owing to a changeover of the rotor of the Lorentz force in the corners from a single local maximum to a pair of local maxima, one in close vicinity of another, with different signs of vorticity.

Keywords: Alternating magnetic field; ultrasonic flow measurements; convective pattern; vorticity
