A numerical model is used to study the combined impact of gravity, rotation, and magnetic field on convection in a horizontal high-pressure arc. The model solves the Navier–Stokes equations for laminar compressible flow combined with the electric current continuity equation in a three-dimensional generalized curvilinear coordinate system. Model calculations are presented for a 1-atm, 400-W Hg arc in a 3.33-cm i.d. arctube with 15.5 cm electrode separation. The model results are compared with experimental data from the literature.
