  19. Summary Conclusions • Excellent agreement between DNS and experimental results for RMF driven flow up to ~ 10Tac • Taylor-Görtler vortices and associated large-scale fluctuations provide an efficient mixing mechanism which is complemented by the mean secondary flow • Both, RMF and PMF driven flows, are dominated by long-lived structures which give rise to low-frequency oscillations and thus render RANS methods useless Perspectives • Continued investigation of magnetically driven flows based on DNS and experiments: TMF, PMF, combined fields, spin-up • Large-Eddy-Simulations at higher Reynolds numbers • Tailored fields for more efficient stirring and mixing • Non-isothermal flows • Electromagnetic flow control for CG model configuration (joint effort in SFB 609) Sino-German Workshop on EPM, Shanghai, Oct. 11-12, 2004 Stiller, Frana, Grundmann, Cramer, Varshney, Gerbeth Numerical and Experimental Studies on Electromagnetic Stirring
