This paper presents simulations of the 2d model developed by Poth\'erat at al (\emph{J. Fluid Mech}, 2000) for MHD flows between two planes with a strong transverse homogeneous and steady magnetic field, accounting for moderate inertial effects in Hartmann layers. We first show analytically how the additional terms in the equations of motion accounting for inertia, soften velocity gradients in the horizontal plane, and then we implement the model on a code to carry out numerical simulations to be compared with available experimental results. This comparison shows that the new model can give very accurate results as long as the Hartmann layer remains laminar. Both experimental velocity profiles and global angular momentum measurements are closely recovered, and local and global Ekman recirculations are shown to alter significantly the aspect of the flow as well as the global dissipation. |
