The stability of Couette flow in a toroidal magnetic field
نویسندگان
چکیده
The stability of the hydromagnetic Couette flow is investigated when a constant current is applied along the axis of the cylinders. It is shown that if the resulting toroidal magnetic field depends only on this current, no linear instability to axisymmetric disturbances is possible. c © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Taylor-Couette flow stability with toroidal magnetic field
The linear stability of the dissipative Taylor-Couette flow with imposed azimuthal magnetic field is considered. Unlike to ideal flow, the magnetic field is fixed function of radius with two parameters only: a ratio of inner to outer cylinder radii and a ratio of the magnetic field values on outer and inner cylinders. The magnetic field with boundary values ratio greater than zero and smaller t...
متن کاملTaylor-Couette flow: MRI, SHI and SRI
The linear stability theory of Taylor-Couette flows (unbounded in z) is described including magnetic fields, Hall effect or a density stratification in order to prepare laboratory experiments to probe the stability of differential rotation in astrophysics. If an axial field is present then the magnetorotational instability (MRI) is investigated also for small magnetic Prandtl numbers. For rotat...

Effects of Hall current, ion-slip and Coriolis force on unsteady MHD Couette-Hartmann flow of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium bounded by porous plates in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field which is either fixed relative to the fluid or to the moving porous plate is investigated using Laplace transform technique. The expressions for...
متن کاملTheory of current-driven instability experiments in magnetic Taylor-Couette flows.
We consider the linear stability of dissipative magnetic Taylor-Couette flow with imposed toroidal magnetic fields. The inner and outer cylinders can be either insulating or conducting; the inner one rotates, the outer one is stationary. The magnetic Prandtl number can be as small as 10(-5) , approaching realistic liquid-metal values. The magnetic field destabilizes the flow, except for radial ...
