TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the directional solidification of Al-7 ¼ ¼ Si alloys under the influence of strong electric currents for the configuration of two parallel electrodes immersed from the free surface into the solidifying alloy, and demonstrated that the grain refining effect observed in these experiments can be attributed solely to the forced melt flow driven by the Lorentz force.

TL;DR: The results of a liquid metal Taylor-Couette experiment are reported that shows the occurrence of an azimuthal MRI in the expected range of Hartmann numbers.

TL;DR: Seilmayer et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a fully three-dimensional numerical code, and utilized it for the simulation of the Tayler instability at typical viscosities and resistivities of liquid metals.

TL;DR: In this paper, contactless inductive flow tomography (CIFT) is applied to the flow field in a small model (containing approximately 1.4 l of the eutectic alloy GaInSn) of a mould for thin slab casting.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the current driven Tayler instability and give critical electrical currents for its onset as well as numerical estimates for the appearing flow structures and speeds, and discuss and compare various means for preventing the instability.
