Abstract
Results are described of one of the first heat-exchange experiments in the electrically induced vortical flows (EIVF). The experimental data are compared with computational results. Their qualitative agreement is noted. It is pointed out which circumstances must be taken into account when numerically modeling the heat-transfer processes in EIVF. Figs 2, Refs 3.
