文摘The present paper aims at numerical simulation of the intriguing experimental observations made by Bojarevics on the appearance of swirl in flows in an electrically induced flow.Although controlled by poloidal force,the flow rotates due to the presence of the earth magnetic field.The bulk flow rotates almost as a whole which indicates that the swirl is generated through a mechanism of 'poloidal suppression'.
