Natural convection of an electrically conducting fluid in a spherical layer. 1. Formulation of the problem

Natural-convection heat transfer of an electrically conducting fluid in a spherical layer modeling the earth’s liquid core is considered. The effect of different physical factors on fluid flow in a spherical interlayer is analyzed. Translated from Inzhenerno-Fizicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 71, No. 5, pp. 850–854, September–October, 1998.
