<abstract><p>The stability problem on the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with partial or no dissipation is not well-understood. This paper focuses on the 3D incompressible MHD equations with mixed partial dissipation and magnetic diffusion. Our main result assesses the stability of perturbations near the steady solution given by a background magnetic field in periodic domain. The new stability result presented here is among few stability conclusions currently available for ideal or partially dissipated MHD equations.</p></abstract>

AbstractThe nonlinear theory of large-amplitude magnetosonic (MS) waves in highβ space plasmas is revisited. It is shown that solitary waves can exist in the form of ‘bright’ or ‘dark’ solitons in which the magnetic field is increased or decreased relative to the background magnetic field. This depends on the shape of the equilibrium ion distribution function. The basic parameter that controls the nonlinear structure is the wave dispersion, which can be either positive or negative. A general dispersion relation for MS waves propagating perpendicularly to the external magnetic field in a plasma with an arbitrary velocity distribution function is derived.It takes into account general plasma equilibria, such as the Dory–Guest–Harris (DGH) or Kennel–Ashour-Abdalla (KA) loss-cone equilibria, as well as distributions with a power-law velocity dependence that can be modelled by κdistributions. It is shown that in a bi-Maxwellian plasma the dispersion is negative, i.e. the phase velocity decreases with an increase of the wavenumber. This means that the solitary solution in this case has the form of a ‘bright’ soliton with the magnetic field increased. On the contrary, in some non-Maxwellian plasmas, such as those with ring-type ion distributions or DGH plasmas, the solitary solution may have the form of a magnetic hole. The results of similar investigations based on nonlinear Hall–MHD equations are reviewed. The relevance of our theoretical results to existing satellite wave observations is outlined.

AbstractThe problem of the global stability of rotating magnetized thin disks is considered. The appropriate boundary value problem (BVP) of the linearized MHD equations is solved by employing the WKB approximation to describe the dynamical development of an initial perturbation. The eigenfrequencies as well as eigenfunctions are explicitly obtained and are verified numerically. The importance of considering the initial value problem (IVP) as well as the question of global stability for finite systems is emphasized and discussed in detail. It is further shown that thin enough disks are stable (global stability) but as their thickness grows increasing number of unstable modes participate in the solution of the IVP. However it is demonstrated that due to the localization of the initial perturbation the growth time of the instability may be significantly longer than the calculated inverse growth rate of the individual unstable eigenfunctions.

ABSTRACT There are observational evidences for the existence of twisted magnetic field in the solar corona. Here, we have investigated resonant damping of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) kink waves in magnetic flux tubes. A realistic model of the tube with continuous magnetic twist and radially inhomogeneous density profile has been considered. We have obtained the dispersion relation of the kink wave using the solution to the linear MHD equations outside the density inhomogeneity and the appropriate connection formula to the solutions across the thin transitional boundary layer. The dependence of the oscillation frequency and damping rate of the waves on the twist parameter and longitudinal wavenumber has been investigated. For the flux tube parameters considered in this paper, we obtain rapid damping of the kink waves comparable to the observations. In order to justify this rapid damping, depending on the sign of the azimuthal kink mode number, $m=+1$ or $-1$, the background magnetic field must have left- or right-handed twisted profile, respectively. For the model considered here, the resonant absorption occurs only when the twist parameter is in a range specified by the density contrast.

The parametric excitation of slow, intermediate (Alfvén) and fast magneto-acoustic waves by a modulated spatially non-uniform magnetic field in a plasma with a finite ratio of gas pressure to magnetic pressure is considered. The waves are excited in pairs, either pairs of the same mode, or a pair of different modes. The growth rates of the instabilities are calculated and compared with the known result for the Alfvén wave in a zero gas pressure plasma. The only waves that are found not to be excited are the slow plus fast wave pair, and the intermediate plus slow or fast wave pair (unless the waves have a component of propagation direction perpendicular to both the background magnetic field and the direction of non-uniformity of the field).

In this paper we study the system governing flows in the magnetic field within the earth. The system is similar to the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. For initial data in spaceLp, we obtained the local in time existence and uniqueness ofweak solutions of the system subject to appropriate initial and boundary conditions.
