Abstract
An experiment for study magnetic field evolution in nonstationary turbulent flow of liquid sodium is discussed. Kinetic energy is accumulating during relatively long acceleration of the toroidal vessel (diameter about 1 m) with liquid sodium and the large power screw flow will be obtained only during the abrupt brake. Internal diverters will enable the required profile of velocity. The expected flow can act as a dynamo provided its magnetic Reynolds R m number is expected to exceed several tens. The experiment is developing in the Institute of Continuous Media Mechanics of Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, Perm, Russia.
