INFLUENCE OF JOULE DISSIPATION ON HEAT EXCHANGE AND MAGNETIC HYDRODYNAMICS OF LIQUID IN A SPHERICAL LAYER. PART I

Results of numerical simulation of the convective heat exchange in the electrically conducting liquid fl owing between two concentric isothermal spheres are presented. The infl uence of Joule heating of this liquid and the thickness of the spherical liquid layer on the structure of the liquid fl ow, the temperature and magnetic-induction fi elds, and the distribution of Nusselt numbers in it was investigated. Equations for simulation of the heat exchange in the spherical liquid layer in the case where the gravitational acceleration is directed to its center were derived.
