One example of magnetohydrodynamic Stokes flow around a self-propelled sphere

Magnetohydrodynamic flow around a sphere equipped with an internal source of electromagnetic fields in the form of a variable megnetic dipole is investigated in the Stokes approximation. This dipole is capable of imparting translational motion to the sphere relative to the liquid. The properties of streamline flow in the self-propelled mode of operation of the source due to the influence of distributed volumetric forces on the character of the flow are demonstrated.
