MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC FLOW OF A VISCOUS FLUID PAST A SPHERE

Journal Article · · Journal of Fluid Mechanics (England)

The flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid past a sphere is studied; the uniform ambient flow field is colinear with the ambient uniform magnetic field. The force exerted on the sphere is computed for various conductivities and Reynolds numbers; of particular interest is the distinction in behavior between the flow with ambient particle speed greater than ambient Alfven speed and that with particle speed less than Alfven speed.
