The student should get to know and overcome some problems of the flow of an electrically conductive fluid in the presence of a magnetic field.

Acquiring knowledge from some theoretical and practical problems of magnetohydrodynamics. This knowledge can be used for scientific work in this field of research.

Equations of magnetic hydromechanics. Similarity criteria. Laminar flow of electroconductive fluid in transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields, between plates, in rectangular and circular tubes. Stability of laminar flow. The effect of a magnetic field on flow disturbances and the transition from laminar to turbulent flow in the presence of a magnetic field. Turbulent flows in pipes in the presence of transverse and longitudinal magnetic fields. Obstruction of an infinite plate and an infinite cylinder in a transverse magnetic field. Stokes and Ozen magnetohydrodynamic flows. Magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer. Hydrodynamic calculation of magnetohydrodynamic pump and electromagnetic dispenser for liquid metals.

Research work on the specific problem of Magnetohydrodynamics.
