Abstract

When a conducting fluid comes under the influence of a magnetic field, electrical currents are induced that give rise to a modification of this magnetic field. The ratio of induced magnetic field to applied magnetic field is characterized by the magnetic Reynolds number Rm of the flow. For large Rm, even self‐excitation of a magnetic field can occur. This hydromagnetic dynamo effect is responsible for the maintenance of the magnetic fields of planets, stars and galaxies. In the present paper, we delineate some recent developments in the numerical treatment of induction effects in arbitrary geometry, and their application for dynamo experiments as well as for a β€œContactless Inductive Flow Tomography (CIFT)”.

As part of the Laser Megajoule Facility for cryogenic targets, we have studied the heat transfer at low temperature (6 K<T<20 K) between two coaxial cylinders whose annular space was filled with helium gas. We have built a cryostat and carried out many experiments on the conduction/convection heat t

This paper presents some numerical results relative to a solution, based on the density matrix formalism, of the non-LTE, polarized radiative transfer problem for a twolevel atom. The results concern the atomic upper level population and alignment, and the emergent radiation Stokes profiles, for a p
