SOME TWO DIMENSIONAL PROBLEMS IN MAGNETO-HYDRODYNAMIC FLOWS AT LOW MAGNETIC REYNOLDS NUMBER

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4156841

A study is made of some two-dimensional flows of an incompressible inviscid, uniformly conducting fluid in the presence of applied magnetic fields, for the case in which the magnetic Reynolds number (the ratio of induced fields to applied fields) is low but the magnetic force coefficient (the ratio of electromagnetic force to inertia force) may be high. A variety of velocity perturbations of a uniform flow are considered, including the flow through a magnetic nozzle. All these perturbations are strongly dependent upon the magna itude of the magnetic force coefficient. (auth)
