Abstract
The Hartmann boundary layer is a paradigm of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. Hartmann boundary layers develop when a liquid metal flows under the influence of a steady magnetic field. The present paper is an overview of recent successful attempts to understand the mechanisms by which the Hartmann layer undergoes a transition from laminar to turbulent flow.

It appears that characteristic phase transitions of the type liquid-solid exist for substances in the boundary layer. The melting point of these transiticns is considerably shifted towards the lower temperature region.
