The results of numerical simulation of unsteady heat transfer of an electrically conductive liquid in a spherical layer modeling the Earth’s liquid core are presented. The evolution of the structure of the flow of an electrically conductive fluid, the temperature field, magnetic induction, and the distribution of local Nusselt numbers is studied. The gravitational acceleration vector is directed along the radius to the center of the spherical layer.
