  In preparation for an experimental study of magnetorotational instability
(MRI) in liquid metal, we present non-ideal axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic
simulations of the nonlinear evolution of MRI in the experimental geometry. The
simulations adopt fully insulating boundary conditions. No-slip conditions are
imposed at the cylinders. A clear linear phase is observed with reduced linear
growth rate. MRI results in an inflowing "jet" near the midplane and enhances
the angular momentum transport at saturation.
