In this study we consider the effect of a horizontal magnetic field on the Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a finite liquid metal layer contained in a cuboid vessel (200×200×40mm3) of aspect ratio Γ=5 . Laboratory experiments are performed for measuring temperature and flow field in the low melting point alloy GaInSn at Prandtl number Pr≈0.03 and in a...

... It is one of the most studied problems in the field of both fluid mechanics and heat transfer [5][6][7][8][9]. Various factors could influence the onset and subsequent bifurcations of Rayleigh-Bénard convection [1,4,[10][11][12][13], one of which is to apply an electric field on the system [14]. The application of an electric field on the Rayleigh-Bénard convection system will induce an additional volumetric Coulomb force, which will significantly affect the flow pattern and heat transfer characteristics [15][16][17][18][19][20]. ...
