Liquid-metal magnetohydrodynamic flow in a system of electrically coupled U-bends in a strong uniform magnetic field is studied. The ducts composing the bends are electrically conducting and have rectangular cross-sections. It has been anticipated that very strong global electric currents are induced in the system, which modify the flow pattern and produce a very high pressure drop compared to the flow in a single U-bend. A detailed asymptotic analysis of flow for high values of the Harmann number (in fusion blanket applications of the order of 103−104) shows that circulation of global currents results in several types of peculiar flow patterns. In ducts parallel to the magnetic field a combination of helical and recirculatory flow types may be present and vary from one bend to another. The magnitude of the recirculatory motion may become very high depending on the flow-rate distribution between the bends in the system. The recirculatory flow may account for about 50% of the flow in all bends. In addition there are equal and opposite jets at the walls parallel to the magnetic field, which are common to any two bends. The pressure drop due to three-dimensional effects linearly increases with the number of bends in a system and may significantly affect the total pressure drop. To suppress this and some other unwelcome tendencies either the ducts perpendicular to the magnetic field should be electrically separated, or the flow direction in the neighbouring ducts should be made opposite, so that leakage currents cancel each other.

Absolute equilibrium statistical theory and numerical simulations are reviewed in the context of inverse cascades in two- and three-dimensional incompressible fluid and magnetofluid turbulence. Turbulent fluctuations of physically interesting quantities undergo inverse cascade to larger spatial scales, leading to self-organization under certain circumstances. In particular, most systems with more than one quadratic ideal invariant, or, having some kind of imposed anisotropy, exhibit inverse cascades. Anisotropic fluid turbulence in the presence of a uniform rotation and magnetofluid turbulence in the presence of a uniform magnetic field are considered.

Three-dimensional numerical simulation is used to investigate intermittency in incompressible weak magnetohydrodynamic turbulence with a strong uniform magnetic field $\boldsymbol{b}_{\mathbf{0}}$ and zero cross-helicity. At leading order, this asymptotic regime is achieved via three-wave resonant interactions with the scattering of a wave on a 2D mode for which $k_{\Vert }=0$. When the interactions with the 2D modes are artificially reduced, we show numerically that the system exhibits an energy spectrum with $k_{\bot }^{-3/2}$, whereas the expected exact solution with $k_{\bot }^{-2}$ is recovered with the full nonlinear system. In the latter case, strong intermittency is found when the vector separation of structure functions is taken transverse to $\boldsymbol{b}_{\mathbf{0}}$. This result may be explained by the influence of the 2D modes whose regime belongs to strong turbulence. In addition to shedding light on the origin of this intermittency, we derive a log-Poisson law, ${\it\zeta}_{p}=p/8+1-(1/4)^{p/2}$, which fits the data perfectly and highlights the important role of parallel current sheets.

We consider the linear stability to three-dimensional perturbations of two-dimensional nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic basic states obtained from a specified forcing function in the presence of an imposed initially uniform magnetic field of strength B 0 . The forcing is chosen such that it drives the ‘circularly polarized’ (CP) flow of Galloway & Proctor ( Galloway & Proctor 1992 Nature 356 , 691–693) when B 0 =0. We first examine the properties of these basic states and their dependence on B 0 and the magnetic Reynolds number Rm . The linear stability of these states is then investigated. It is found that, at a given Rm , the presence of a background field is stabilizing. The results also allow us to speculate that, at a fixed value of B 0 , the growth of the unstable perturbations is ‘fast’, in the sense that the growth rate becomes independent of Rm as Rm →∞.

A method of building and investigation of the Fermi surfaces for three-dimensional crystals subjected to a uniform magnetic field is presented. The Hamiltonian of a charged particle in the crystal is treated in the framework of the zero-range potential theory. The dispersion relation for the Hamiltonian is obtained in an explicit form.
