This study investigates the flow of liquid metal under an inhomogeneous magnetic field in a rectangular channel using numerical methods. The objective is to create a robust MHD solver based on the NaSt3DGP flow solver developed in a renowned research group, adapting it for simulating magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) phenomena. The methodology involves applying the inductionless approximation and extending the original solver by incorporating maximum efficiency in calculating both the electric potential and the Lorentz force contributions to the velocity field. Results reveal the emergence of an M-shape velocity profile and validate the simulations against experimental data, confirming the electric field distribution and mean streamwise velocity profiles align well with experimental findings. The simulations also indicate the formation of two large-scale vortices under the influence of the applied magnetic field, corroborated by the experimental electric potential distribution. However, to comprehensively analyze the experimentally observed suppression of velocity fluctuations, it is recommended that future simulations utilize finer grid resolutions. This research contributes to the understanding of MHD flows crucial for various applications within the field.
