The effect of a parallel magnetic field upon the stability of the plane interface between two conducting viscous fluids in uniform relative motion is considered. A parameter reduction, which has not previously been noted, is employed to facilitate the solution of the problem. Neutral stability curves for unrestricted ranges of the governing parameters are found, and the approximate solutions of other authors are examined in this light.

Using the stationary equilibrium energy principle a sufficient condition is obtained for the stability of a compressible stratified fluid with a non-uniform horizontal magnetic field, with an aligned shear flow. The condition is used to provide a simple generalization of a known result for a specific atmospheric model.

A study is made of the nonlinear spatial evolution of an externally excited instability wave in a mixing layer of nearly perfectly conducting fluid with a large Reynolds number in a weak parallel magnetic field.It is shown that the evolution pattern bears a resemblance to that of disturbances in a weakly stratified shear flow with the Prandtl number less than unity which was studied in our earlier publication (Shukhman & Churilov 1997): a weak magnetic field, like a weak stratification when Pr<1, has a stabilizing effect on the nonlinear development of disturbances and in the case when the linear growth rate of the wave is not too large leads either to the instability saturation in the viscous critical layer regime or to the establishment of a unsteady nonlinear critical layer regime where the wave amplitude oscillates without exceeding a certain maximum value. In this case the regime of the quasi-steady nonlinear critical layer is not attained evolutionarily. When the linear growth rate is large enough the magnetic field has no dynamical effect on evolution and the quasi-steady nonlinear critical layer regime with the well-known power-law growth of amplitude (A∝x2/3) is eventually attained.Also, the critical layer structure and the evolution behaviour in the case of a strong difference of dissipation coefficients (i.e. ordinary viscosity and magnetic viscosity) are considered.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the influence of an external magnetic field on the shear flow behaviour of a magnetic fluid based on barium hexaferrite nanoplates. With the use of rheometry, the magnetoviscosity and field-dependent yield-stress in the fluid are evaluated. The observed fluid behaviour is compared to that of ferrofluids with magnetic nanoparticles having high dipole interaction. The results obtained supplement the so-far poorly studied topic of the influence of magnetic nanoparticles’ shape on magnetoviscous effects. It is concluded that the parameter determining the observed magnetoviscous effects in the fluid under study is the ratio V2/l3, where V is the volume of the nanoparticle and l is the size of the nanoparticle in the direction corresponding to its orientation in the externally applied magnetic field.

AbstractThis study determines the effect of the configuration of the magnetic field on the movement of gas bubbles that evolve from platinum electrodes. Oxygen and hydrogen bubbles respectively evolve from the surface of the anode and cathode and behave differently in the presence of a magnetic field due to their paramagnetic and diamagnetic characteristics. A magnetic field perpendicular to the surface of the horizontal electrode causes the bubbles to revolve. Oxygen and hydrogen bubbles revolve in opposite directions to create a swirling flow and spread the bubbles between the electrodes, which increases conductivity and the effectiveness of electrolysis. For vertical electrodes under the influence of a parallel magnetic field, a horizontal Lorentz force effectively detaches the bubbles and increases the conductivity and the effectiveness of electrolysis. However, if the layout of the electrodes and magnetic field results in upward or downward Lorentz forces that counter the buoyancy force, a sluggish flow in the duct inhibits the movement of the bubbles and decreases the conductivity and the charging performance. The results in this study determine the optimal layout for an electrode and a magnetic field to increase the conductivity and the effectiveness of water electrolysis, which is applicable to various fields including energy conversion, biotechnology, and magnetohydrodynamic thruster used in seawater.
