This paper treats steady laminar flows of liquid metals in electrically insulated circular ducts in the presence of strong, transverse nonuniform magnetic fields. The interaction parameter and Hartmann number are assumed to be large, whereas the magnetic Reynolds number is assumed to be small. This problem is of importance to MHD flows in fusion blankets especially when suitable insulating material is identified and developed for use in fusion reactor environments. Use of insulated duct could substantially reduce the MHD pressure drop and thus would simplify the design and enhance the performance of the liquid-metal-cooled blankets.
