Elliptical flow instability in a conducting fluid triggered by an external magnetic field.
We demonstrate that arbitrarily weak magnetic field may cause violent instability of an anticyclonic, recirculating flow with uniform mean angular velocity. This magnetohydrodynamic instability would trigger turbulence in the cores of vortices where neither centrifugal, exchange instability, nor magnetorotational instability is effective. In the accretion disk vortices this can be an important ...
متن کاملAsymptotic model for free surface flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a high-frequency magnetic field
We study the behaviour of a layer of an electrically conducting inviscid incompressible fluid in a high-frequency alternating magnetic field. We derive nonlinear asymptotic equations governing the evolution of the fluid layer in the high-frequency limit. As a test for the model, we consider the linearised stability problem for an infinite planar free surface of a layer of finite depth. © 2005 E...
متن کاملFormation of Root Singularities on the Free Surface of a Conducting Fluid in an Electric Field
The formation of singularities on a free surface of a conducting ideal fluid in a strong electric field is considered. It is found that the nonlinear equations of two-dimensional fluid motion can be solved in the small-angle approximation. This enables us to show that for almost arbitrary initial conditions the surface curvature becomes infinite in a finite time. Electrohydrodynamic instability...
متن کاملInstability of a Whirling Conducting Rod in the Presence of a Magnetic Field
We study the effect of a magnetic field on the behaviour of a slender conducting elastic structure subject to end forces. Both statical (buckling) and dynamical (whirling) instability are considered and we also compute post-buckling configurations. The theory used is the geometrically exact Cosserat rod theory. We consider two types of boundary conditions: the traditional welded boundary condit...
متن کاملThe Instability of a Viscoelastic Conducting Cylindrical Interface Supporting Free-surface Currents
The stability of a viscoelastic interface acted upon by an oscillating azimuthal magnetic field is studied. The interface separates two rigid magnetic fluid columns. Only azimuthal disturbrance modes are considered in a linear perturbation technique. Weak viscoelastic effects are taken into consideration, so that their contributions are demonstrated in the boundary conditions. The presence or a...
