Abstract :
In this study, direct numerical simulations (DNS) are performed for a liquid metal fluid flow in a long horizontal circular pipe under a strong transverse magnetic field (Ha=0..300) and bottom-wall heating. This case is relevant for estimation of critical states of hydrodynamic and heat exchange in contours of fusion reactor blankets.
