Abstract

In this paper, analyses of the experimental results in the 1st report are presented. The shape of the free surface are analyzed by a perturbation method neglecting the circulation velocity and the surface tension. Results were in good agreement with experimental ones and showed that the deformation was induced mainly by the radial gradient of the magnetic field and Maxwell's surface stress. The profiles of the rotational velocity were calculated using Glazov's equation and they agreed qualitatively with experimental results. The induced velocity was so small that the centifugal force of the flow had little effect on the shape of the free surface.
