Stability of parallel flow in a parallel magnetic field at small magnetic Reynolds numbers
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6564839
The hydromagnetic stability of a basic two-dimensional parallel flow of an incompressible conducting fluid in a uniform magnetic field parallel to the flow is considered. By use of the generalization of the Orr-Sommerfeld equation for an electrically conducting fluid, it is shown that any given small wave disturbance can be stabilized by a sufficiently strong magnetic field if the Reynolds number is finite and the magnetic Reynolds number, small.
