✦ Synopsis

This paper describes a new application of the self-correcting procedure to computational liquid metal magnetohydrodynamics. In this procedure, the conservation law of the electric current density incorporated in a Poisson equation for the scalar potential plays an important role of correcting this potential. This role is similar to that of the conservation law of mass in a Poisson equation for the pressure. Some numerical results show that the proposed self-correcting procedure can provide a more accurate numerical solution of the electric current density than the existing solution procedure.
