Abstract
Three-dimensional computation is carried out on the convection of water in a tall, cylindrical vessel heated from below and cooled from above at or near the center of a bore of a solenoidal magnet. The computation results indicate that the flow localization is realized by the distribution of the magnetic force. Furthermore, due to inclination of the vessel and small off-centered replacement from the magnet center, flow direction control over the localized convection roll is achieved. The results presented include promotion of convection without mechanical stirring, local suppression of convection, and induction of a large roll with a fixed direction. Thus, it is discussed that control over convective flows is potentially possible in a tall vessel with the aid of magnetic force.
