Some results of an experimental investigation of the structure of a turbulent stream of conducting liquid

Results are presented of an investigation, made with the aid of an induction anemometer, of some characteristics of a turbulent stream of electrically conducting liquid in an open channel. External magnetic and electric fields are applied to the flow. It has been observed that the flow structure is appreciably affected by the Lorentz force normal to the channel floor. The characteristics obtained are compared with experimental results for an ordinary liquid.
