Instability of a surface of discontinuity of velocity in a parallel uniform magnetic field
Journal Article
·
· Journal of Fluid Mechanics
The problem was investigated when the magnetic field was uniform and parallel to the velocity on the two sides of a surface of discontinuity of velocity in an electrically conducting inviscid fluid. The secular equation depends on two parameters BETA and N, where BETA is the ratio of magnetic Reynolds number to dimensionless wave number and N is the ratio of the magnetic to the kinetic energy of the fluid. It was found that the flow is unstable for all values of BETA and N. (auth)
