Experimental investigation of the return flow instability in magnetized spherical Couette flows

We conduct magnetized spherical Couette (MSC) flow experiments in the return flow instability regime with GaInSn as the working fluid, the ratio of the inner to the outer sphere radii ri/ro = 0.5, the Reynolds number Re = 1000, and the Hartmann number Ha ¿ [27.5, 40]. Rotating waves with different a...
