Abstract
By numerical modelling of a three-dimensional axially symmetric flow of a conducting liquid in a cylinder of finite length driven by the action of a rotating magnetic field it is found that under certain conditions a double laminar boundary layer appears in the distribution of the azimuthal velocity along the length of the cylinder near to its end faces in a place of end-wall vortex localization.
