Experimental Study of the Velocity of the Electrovortex Flow of In-Ga-Sn in Hemispherical Geometry

The paper describes the application of the thermocorrelation method for measuring the velocity in a current-carrying liquid. An electrovortex flow occurs when the current passing through a conducting medium interacts with its own magnetic field. Measurements of the velocity of the turbulent electrov...
