Starting with the Chew, Goldberger & Low equations, an analysis is made of instability arising due to a tangential velocity discontinuity in a dilute plasma. The velocities on either side are parallel but oppositely directed. Two cases are considered: (i) the magnetic field is uniform and everywhere transverse to the motion, and (ii) the magnetic field vectors on either side are orthogonal, being parallel to the motion on one side and perpendicular on the other. The conditions for instability are obtained and it is found that the effect of magnetic field is destabilizing in both cases. The effect of orthogonality of magnetic fields on the conventional fire-hose instability for a uniform, static plasma is also discussed as special case.

In the present paper we report temperature dependent magnetization measurements done on a magneto-active elastomers (MAEs) consisting of a siloxane rubber filled with carbonyl iron particles. The experiments performed in this study are similar to the conventional Zero-Field-Cooled and Field-Cooled magnetic tests. To the best of our knowledge, this approach, successfully used for studies on magnetic fluids, has never ever been applied to MAE. This test allowed us to reveal the effect of change of MAE structure under the action of an external magnetic field.

Abstract The structural changes in magnetic fluids based on transformer oil TECHNOL and MOGUL upon the effect of an external magnetic field and temperature were studied by acoustic spectroscopy. When a magnetic field is increased, the interaction between the magnetic field and the magnetic moments of the nanoparticles leads to the aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles and following clusters formation. However, the temperature of magnetic fluids has also very important influence on the structural changes because of the mechanism of thermal motion that acts against the cluster creation. The live time of clusters have relative long time scale for the magnetic fluid based on TECHNOL, while for MOGUL is quite short.
