A THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION OF ANNULAR MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC FLOW WITH A MOVING BOUNDARY
The problem considered is the laminar, steady flow of a viscous, incompressible, conducting fluid in the annular space between two infinitely long circular cylinders under the action of a radially impressed magnetic field and an axially impressed electric field when the outer cylinder is given a uniform angular velocity. The conditions of the problem reduce the magnetohydrildynamic equations to three equations in pressure, velocity, and magnetic field. One equation gives the pressure variation in the radial direction and the other two equations are coupled equations for the velocity and the magnetic field. These three equations are functions of one variable and may be solved in closed form. In the limiting case where the radii become infinite but their difference remains finite, and there is no velocity of the outer cylinder, the solution becomes Hartmann's flow between infinite parallel plates with a transverse magnetic field and a uniform applied electric field.
