Magneto-Thermo-Elastic Stresses and Perturbation of the Magnetic Field Vector in an EGM Rotating Disk

In this article, the magneto-thermo-elastic problem of exponentially graded material (EGM) hollow rotating disk placed in uniform magnetic and temperature fields is considered. Exact solutions for stresses and perturbations of the magnetic field vector in EGM hollow rotating disk are determined using the infinitesimal theory of magneto-thermo-elasticity under plane stress. The material properti...

Magnetic-field-driven instability in stratified ferrofluids.

We describe a convective instability of a stratified ferrofluid subject to a magnetic field. The ferrofluid is described as binary mixture featuring two important dimensionless numbers the barometric one B and the magnetic barometric one Bm. At the field strength, where the latter exceeds the former, instability sets in. We discuss the growth rate of linear perturbations and the amplitude of no...

Magneto-Thermo-Elastic Stresses and Perturbation of Magnetic Field Vector in a Thin Functionally Graded Rotating Disk

In this paper, a semi-analytical solution for magneto-thermo-elastic problem in an axisymmetric functionally graded (FG) hollow rotating disk with constant thickness placed in uniform magnetic and thermal fields with heat convection from disk’s surfaces is presented. Solution for stresses and perturbation of magnetic field vector in a thin FG rotating disk is determined using infinitesimal theo...

Magneto-flow instability in symmetric field profiles

Since Rayleigh’s early work on shear-flow driven instabilities in fluids, it has been known that sheared flows are usually unstable only in the presence of an inflection point in the velocity profile. However, in magnetohydrodynamics, there are important instabilities for which no inflection point is required. In tokamak experiments, strongly sheared flows are associated with transport barriers...
