In practical applications of RMF, for example, in metallurgical In practical applications of RMF, for example, in metallurgical processes, the axis of the vessel with melt can be shifted with processes, the axis of the vessel with melt can be shifted with respect to the inductor axis. Therefore, the characteristics of the respect to the inductor axis. Therefore, the characteristics of the mean flow (its structure) can be changed depending both on mean flow (its structure) can be changed depending both on MHD interaction parameter MHD interaction parameter NN and on the eccentricity and on the eccentricity

The results of flow streamlines calculations show that linear approximation (first term of solution) gives a rotating flow, which gets deformed in the core at increasing eccentricity. The account for nonlinearity changes the flow pattern. In this case, all effects occur in the core on the background of mean rotating flow.
It is desirable to perform experimental checking of the computed results, since the appearance of such structures may be useful for technological applications as a possible means of controlling liquid metal behavior under a rotating magnetic field.
