The Magnetohydrodynamic stability of a streaming cylindrical model penetrated by varying transverse magnetic field has been discussed. The problem is formulated, the basic equations are solved, upon appropriate boundary conditions the eigenvalue relation is derived and discussed analytically, and the results are verified numerically. The capillary force is destabilizing in a small axisymmetric domain and stabilizing otherwise. The streaming has a strong destabilizing effect in all kinds of perturbation. The toroidal varying magnetic field interior the fluid has no direct effect at all on the stability of the fluid column. The axial exterior field has strong stabilizing effect on the model. The effect of all acting forces altogether could be identified via the numerical analysis of the stability theory of the present model.

AbstractAdopting the computational model of papers I and II (Song et al. 1990, 1992) we have found that for a better fit of the center of the Fe I 5324.19 Å line, the effect of turbulent Doppler broadening has to be taken into account. Through theoretical and numerical analysis we conclude that the square root of the modulus of Stokes Q and U is an appropiate observational parameter to represent the transverse magnetic field, since it is approximately linearly proportional to the strength of the transverse magnetic field for suitable positions of the filter passband.

This paper presents the results of a theoretical investigation of a laser-supported detonation wave (LDW) in a transverse magnetic field. A 1D problem of a steady-state wavefront structure is considered. The magnetic structure of the LDW is determined. Specific attention is focused on the stability conditions of a shock wavefront. The value of the induced (downstream) electric field strength is obtained from numerical calculations. The possibility of direct conversion of laser radiation energy into electricity in optical discharge plasma moving across an external magnetic field is considered. Such a device could be used in the energy supply systems of space vehicles.

The stability of combined plane Poiseuille and Couette flow of an electricallyconducting fluid under a transverse magnetic field is investigated using linear stability theory.In deriving the equations governing the stability, the so-called magnetic Stokes approximationis made using the fact that the magnetic Prandtl number Prm for most electrically conductingfluids is extremely small. The Chebyshev collocation method is adopted to obtain theeigenvalue equation, which is then solved numerically. The critical Reynolds number Rec,the critical wave number αc, and the critical wave speed cc are obtained for wide ranges ofthe Hartmann number Ha and the parameter k = U0 / (U0 + nu0), where U0 is the maximumvelocity of pure Couette flow and nu0 is the maximum velocity of pure Poiseuille flow. It isfound that a transverse magnetic field has both stabilizing and destabilizing effects on theflow depending on the value of k.PACS Nos. 47.20

In this paper, we consider the stability of three-dimensional compressible viscous fluid around the plane Couette flow in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field and show that the uniform transverse magnetic field has a stabilizing effect on the plane Couette flow. Namely, for a sufficiently large Hartmann number, the compressible viscous plane Couette flow is nonlinear stable for small Mach number and arbitrary Reynolds number so long as the initial perturbation is small enough.
