OSTI ID:4792039
A study was made on the distortion of a uniform magnetic field, which is parallel to the flow at infinity, caused by the fl ow an incompressible inviscid fluid with large electric conductivity past a cylindrical obstacle. The magnetic field was assumed to be so weak that its influence upon the flow may be neglected. The magnetic field out side the cylinder was found to be aligned with the flow owing to high conductivity of the fluid except in a thin layer along the surface of the cylinder and in a wake behind it. The field inside the cylinder (supposed to be non-conducting) was almost zero, except in the vicinity of the rear stagnation point where the lines of force converged and formed a singularity (sink inside and source outside the cylinder) for infinite conductivity of the fluid.
