New Experimental Laboratory for Industrial MHD Research

A new experimental laboratory for the deployment of industrial MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) technologies has been established in cooperation with AS Latvo as a part of the ERDF project “Development of numerical modelling approaches for the exploration of complex multilateral interaction processes in electromagnetic liquid metal technologies” (No. 1.1.1.1/18/A/108). To obtain high-quality energy-efficient alloys, it is principal […]

INM researcher Mihails Birjukovs receives a DAAD scholarship

INM researcher Mihails Birjukovs was awarded a DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) scholarship for a short-term visit to Dresden, Germany. A fundamental study of magnetohydrodynamic bubble flow will continue in collaboration with Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), where Mihails has recently spent 2 months and then worked remotely. The visit will last from June 15 to December […]
