Abstract

This note describes the slow magneto-hydrodynamic flow of hydrochloric acid in a helix. At very low Reynolds number a transverse magnetic field is found to retard the flow in agreement with existing theory and with existing experimental results obtained using mercury. At higher Reynolds numbers where secondary flow in a helix becomes important the transverse magnetic field is found to reduce this secondary flow.
