In arc welding electromagnetic forces are thought to be the major cause of motion in the weldpool, and it has recently been found by experimentalists that the application to the workpiece of a uniform magnetic field normal to the weldpool surface appears to stabilize the welding process. In this paper we investigate motion in a hemisphere due to a stationary distributed current source with a superimposed uniform magnetic field applied parallel to the axis of symmetry. When inertial effects are ignored and a simple source-sink model of the current source is introduced, we obtain an analytic solution for the fluid flow valid for low currents and low applied fields. A numerical scheme is then developed to solve the full nonlinear-flow problem and results are obtained for the source-sink model of the current source and for a more realistic numerically constructed distributed current source. For values of the externally applied magnetic field and the current flowing through the hemisphere typical of those occurring in practical welding situations we discover that the flow in an axial section through the pool is radially outwards on the free surface. This is in the opposite direction to that generally predicted by the theory when there is no superimposed magnetic field.

SUMMARY We present an inversion algorithm to reconstruct the spatial distribution of the electrical conductivity from the analysis of magnetometric resistivity (MMR) data acquired at the ground surface. We first review the theoretical background of MMR connecting the generation of a magnetic field in response to the injection of a low-frequency current source and sink in the ground given a known distribution of electrical conductivity in the subsurface of the Earth. The forward modelling is based on sequentially solving the Poisson equation for the electrical potential distribution and the magnetostatic (Biot and Savart) equation for the magnetic field. Then, we introduce a Gauss–Newton inversion algorithm in which the logarithm of the electrical conductivity field is parametrized by using the chaos polynomial expansion in order to reduce the number of model parameters. To illustrate how the method works, the algorithm is successfully applied on four synthetic models with 3-D heterogeneous distribution of the electrical conductivity. Finally, we apply our algorithm to a field case study in which seepage was known to be occurring along an embankment of a headrace channel to a power station.

A new approach to the problem of the radiation emitted from a localized external current source embedded in a magnetoplasma is described. It is argued that the calculation of the fields in the radiation zone can be substantially simplified by adopting at the outset a suitable parametrization of the dispersion surface. We illustrate the approach by calculating the far fields using the full expression for the dielectric tensor of a warm magnetized electron gas. In this case one can take the angle of rotation about the external magnetic field and the square of the refractive index as the curvilinear co-ordinates of the dispersion surface. The form of the surfaces of constant phase and the amplitudes of the emitted waves are described for each topologically different region of parameter space and their structures are related to the shapes of the refractive index surfaces. Attention is also drawn to the existence of locally cylindrical waves that can produce beams which are highly collimated in the direction of the external magnetic field.
