A LINEARIZED THEORY OF MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC FLOW PAST A FIXED BODY IN A PARALLEL MAGNETIC FIELD
A study is made of the flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid past a fixed body in the presence of a parallel magnetic field. A perturbation method similar to the Oseen approximation in ordinary hydrodynamics is applied to both the flow field and the magnetic field. It proves that the pressure number (namely, the ratio of the magnetic pressure to the dynamic pressure) plays an impornant role to determine the main features of the field. Calculations are carried out for the flow past a circular cylinder and an approximate formula for the drag per unit span of the cylinder is obtained. (auth)
