Abstract

A new approach to the study of electrically induced flows is opened by the use of cylindrical coordinates. First, substantially more variants of axisymmetric electric current distributions (compared to the spherical case) are available, which, at least partly, have immediate practical implications. Second, in cylindrical coordinates there are several methods for the separation of variables in the Navier-Stokes and Maxwell equations that allow us to construct solutions in a similarity form. In choosing the coordinate system the role played by the geometrical form of the liquid conductor domain is by no means unimportant; a cylindrical form often occurs in practical high-current technology.
