Abstract
Liquid metals such as mercury are weakly electrically-conducting fluids, and their motions are described by magnetohydrodynamics. These magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluids have many applications to engineering devices: their dynamics are very important in designing liquid metal pumps, electromagnetic flow meters, MHD power generators (Yakhot & Branover 1982), liquid metal heat exchangers in nuclear fusion reactors (Shercliff 1979), and some kinds of crystal pullers (Hjellming & Walker 1987). For pure scientific research, these MHD fluids are known to be good candidates to make two-dimensional turbulence in laboratory experiments (Schumann 1976; Sommeria &Moreau 1982).
