Rossby waves in ” shallow water ” magnetohydrodynamics
Aims. The influence of a toroidal magnetic field on the dynamics of Rossby waves in a thin layer of ideal conductive fluid on a rotating sphere is studied in the " shallow water " magnetohydrodynamic approximation for the first time. Methods. Dispersion relations for magnetic Rossby waves are derived analytically in Cartesian and spherical coordinates. Results. It is shown that the magnetic fie...
متن کاملRemarks on rotating shallow-water magnetohydrodynamics
We show how the rotating shallow-water MHD model, which was proposed in the solar tachocline context, may be systematically derived by vertical averaging of the full MHD equations for the rotating magneto fluid under the influence of gravity. The procedure highlights the main approximations and the domain of validity of the model, and allows for multi-layer generalizations and, hence, inclusion...
متن کاملHyperbolic theory of the ‘‘shallow water’’ magnetohydrodynamics equations
Recently the shallow water magnetohydrodynamic ~SMHD! equations have been proposed for describing the dynamics of nearly incompressible conducting fluids for which the evolution is nearly two-dimensional ~2D! with magnetohydrostatic equilibrium in the third direction. In the present paper the properties of the SMHD equations as a nonlinear system of hyperbolic conservation laws are described. C...
متن کاملComparison of Modulational Instabilities in Full-dispersion Shallow Water Models
We study the modulational instability of a shallow water model, with and without surface tension, which generalizes the Whitham equation to include bi-directional propagation. Without surface tension, the small amplitude periodic traveling waves are modulationally unstable if their wave number is greater than a critical wave number predicting a Benjamin-Feir type instability and the result qual...
متن کاملInstabilities and vortex dynamics in shear flow of magnetized plasmas
Gradient-driven instabilities and the subsequent nonlinear evolution of generated vortices in sheared E X B flows are investigated for magnetized plasmas with and without gravity (magnetic curvature) and magnetic shear by using theory and implicit particle simulations. In the linear eigenmode analysis, the instabilities considered are the Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instability and the resistive int...
