Abstract
The article presents part of an ongoing investigation into the development of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) on a laboratory setup using computational experiments. The instability of the rotational flow of liquid sodium in a ring channel is studied. This flow is simulated at more realistic values of the Reynolds number in order to determine the dependence of the MRI parameters on the viscosity coefficient of the flow.
