Abstract
A two-dimensional flow in a 90 degree bent channel is considered. A magnetic field is uniform and parallel to inlet branch of the channel. A spectral/hp element method was used for liquid motion calculations. Three types of steady flows were detected. It was found that magnetic forces can suppress a pressure gradient and throw out liquid from the inlet, a relatively large reverse flow appears.
