Abstract: The magnetic field influence on the processes of non-linear spin-up and spin-down in the conductive liquid is investigated. The mechanisms of the acceleration and the deceleration of the liquid’s particles in the presence of the magnetic field are discussed. It was shown, that the asymmetry between these processes disappears in the case of the strong fields, as well as in the case of linear processes.

Keywords: magnetohydrodynamics, spin-up, numerical methods.
