Summary remarks The laboratory flow was investigated in the following range of the governing parameters: Ha = 400, Re 10. Potential probe qualitatively reproduces velocity field within the region of two magnet gaps in streamwise direction. Vives probe is strongly influenced by the external electric potential and could be applied on the distance which exceeds 5-6 gaps of magnet.
