An experimental study of the response to an impulsive driver in a low beta helium plasma is presented. Field line resonance ~FLR! spectra are recorded and compared to an ideal magnetohydrodynamic ~MHD! theory with finite ion cyclotron frequency corrections. The agreement between observed and predicted values is generally within the frequency resolution of the measurements except for the lowest ...

Recent time-dependent, ideal-magnetohydrodynamic (ideal-MHD) simulations of polar magnetic burial in accreting neutron stars have demonstrated that stable, magnetically confined mountains form at the magnetic poles, emitting gravitational waves at f∗ (stellar spin frequency) and 2f∗. Global MHD oscillations of the mountain, whether natural or stochastically driven, act to modulate the gravitati...

Stellar magnetic activities such as the 11-year sunspot cycle are the manifestation of magnetohydrodynamic dynamo processes taking place in the deep interiors of stars. This paper is concerned with the mathematical theory and finite element approximation of mean-field spherical dynamos and their astrophysical application. We first investigate the existence, uniqueness, and stability of the dyna...

We show that large-amplitude, non-planar, Alfvén-wave (AW) packets are exact nonlinear solutions of the relativistic magnetohydrodynamic equations when total magnetic-field strength in local fluid rest frame ( $b$ ) is a constant. derive analytic expressions relating components fluctuating velocity and magnetic field. also these constant- AWs propagate without distortion at Alfvén never steepen...

This paper investigates thermoelectric interface demarcation during directional solidi cation of Bismuth with varying gravitationally-dependent buoyancy convection. A physicsbased computer model is developed in which gravitational, thermoelectric and magnetohydrodynamic e ects are included. To help design our ongoing experimental tests, numerical simulations of directional solidi cation in a Br...

In this paper we derive a criterion for the breakdown of classical solutions to the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with zero viscosity and positive resistivity in R3. This result is analogous to the celebrated Beale-KatoMajda’s breakdown criterion for the inviscid Eluer equations of incompressible fluids. In R2 we establish global weak solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equation...

Characteristics of small amplitude plane waves within the medium separated by the plane discontinuity into two half spaces are analysed. The approximation of the ideal one-fluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is used. The discontinuities with the nonzero mass flux across them are mainly examined. These are fast or slow shock waves and rotational discontinuities. The dispersion equation for MHD wave...

This article presents the exact solutions of the velocity and temperature fields for a steady fully developed magnetohydrodynamic flow of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between two horizontal concentric cylinders. Our study focuses on the influence of the Hartmann number, Brinkman number, Péclet number and inner radius on the fluid temperature field, entropy generati...

Cosmic rays scatter off magnetic irregularities (Alfvén waves) with which they are resonant, that is, waves of wavelength comparable to their gyroradii. These waves may be generated either by the cosmic rays themselves, if they stream faster than the Alfvén speed, or by sources of MHD turbulence. Waves excited by streaming cosmic rays are ideally shaped for scattering, whereas the scattering ef...
