Abstract

The mechanism of poloidal flow suppression in an electrovortex flow is verified in a liquid metal experiment and supported by numerical simulations. The results are shown to be valid for both converging and diverging poloidal flows, as well as for solid and free upper boundaries. It is shown that the threshold value of the external magnetic field, above which the poloidal suppression occurs, is comparable with the magnetic field of Earth that is weak.
