Summary

The paper outlines the principal physical effects of liquid metal channel flow in strong magnetic fields. The magnetohydrodynamic equations and the boundary conditions for channels of thin conducting walls are presented. In particular, the inertialess core flow model is discussed. Results from calculations are compared with experimental data.
