The notion of frozen-in magnetic field originates from H. Alfvén, the result of a work on electromagnetichydrodynamic waves published in 1942. After that, the notion of frozen-in magnetic field, or ideal MHD, has become widely used in space plasma physics. The controversy on the applicability of ideal MHD started in the late 1950s and has continued ever since. The applicability of ideal MHD is ...

in this paper, the effect of magnetic field on the morphology, structure and magnetic properties of electrodeposited fecu/cu thin films was investigated. the films were deposited on au2pdag/glass substrates using electrodeposition technique in potentiostatic control. the magnetic fields of 5000 and 7000 oe were applied on deposition bath during deposition. two series of thin films were prepared...

From a numerical study of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations we show, for the first time in three dimensions sd ­ 3d, that velocity and magnetic-field structure functions exhibit multiscaling, extended self-similarity (ESS), and generalized extended self-similarity (GESS). We propose a new shell model for homogeneous and isotropic MHD turbulence, which preserves all the invariants of ideal...

In this proceeding I present recent works dealing with MHD simulations describing resistive accretion disks continuously launching large-scale, self-collimated MHD jets. In particular, I discuss the physical conditions required to produce these outflows and the related numerical issues. As an illustration I also present axisymmetric MHD numerical simulations of such accretion-ejection engines, ...

in this paper, conjugate heat transfer of magneto hydrodynamic mixed convection of nanofluid about a vertical slender hollow cylinder embedded in a porous medium with high porosity have been numerically studied. the forchheimer’s modification of darcy’s law was used in representing the nanofluid motion inside the porous media. the governing boundary layer equations were transformed to non-dimen...

The preceding chapter discussed the microscopic, kinetic and two-fluid decsriptions of a plasma. But we would actually like a simpler model — one that would include most of the macroscopic properties of a plasma in a “one-fluid” model. The simplest such model is magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), which is a combination of a one-fluid (hydrodynamic-type plus Lorentz force effects) model for the plasma ...

We construct analytically stationary global configurations for both aligned and logarithmic spiral coplanar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) perturbations in an axisymmetric background MHD disc with a power-law surface mass density Σ0 ∝ r , a coplanar azimuthal magnetic field B0 ∝ r −γ , a consistent self-gravity and a powerlaw rotation curve v0 ∝ r −β where v0 is the linear azimuthal gas rotation spe...

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) provides a convenient, programmable means for propelling liquids and controlling fluid flow in microfluidic devices without a need for mechanical pumps and valves. When the magnetic field is uniform and the electric field in the electrolyte solution is confined to a plane that is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field, the Lorentz body force is irrotatio...

We present preliminary results from two computational magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) studies of magnetic nozzles. The first study models the magnetic nozzle expansion of a plasma into a near vacuum with a resistive MHD solver. Results from resistive MHD simulations suggest that further model development is necessary to replicate experimental results within the desired physical regime. The second stu...
