      Laminar free convection in a square enclosure driven by the Lorentz force 

      Sarris, I. E.; Grigoriadis, D. G. E.; Vlachos, N. S. (2010)
      A numerical study is presented of laminar free convection flow driven by magnetic forces. An external magnetic field with one spatially varying component is applied to an electrically conducting fluid in a square enclosure. ...

      Structure anisotropy in MHD turbulence subjected to mean shear and frame rotation 

      Kassinos, Stavros C.; Wray, A. (Affiliation: Dept. of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, United StatesAffiliation: Center for Turbulence Research, NASA Ames Research Center, United StatesCorrespondence Address: Kassinos, S.C.Dept. of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprusemail: kassinos@ucy.ac.cy, 2005)
      We consider homogeneous turbulence in a conducting fluid that is exposed to a uniform external magnetic field while being sheared in fixed and rotating frames. We take both the frame-rotation axis and the applied magnetic ...
