Simulation of instability of MHD-flows in future experimental setup

The numerical simulations of the future experimental study of magnetorotational instability (MRI) was carried out. The experiment includes angular acceleration of liquid sodium placed in vertical magnetic field by radial electrical current. Numerical results yield the parameters of the future experimental device which allow the development of MRI. Such parameters include the sizes of the experimental device, the magnitude of radial current, and the initial magnetic field strength.
