We perform numerical simulations of nonlinear MHD waves in a gravitationally stratified molecular cloud that is bounded by a hot and tenuous external medium. We study the relation between the strength of the turbulence and various global properties of a molecular cloud, within a 1.5-dimensional approximation. Under the influence of a driving source of Alfvénic disturbances, the cloud is lifted ...

The steady hydromagnetic flow in a porous medium of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting non-Newtonian fluid above an infinite rotating porous disk is studied with heat transfer. An external uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the disk and a uniform injection or suction is applied through the surface of the disk. Numerical solutions of the nonlinear governing equatio...

This paper suggests a numerical model of the Gleissberg cycle based on a spherical shell dynamo. The formulation of the problem includes a description both of the rotation law and of the hydromagnetic dynamo. The suggested model allows the Gleissberg cycle to be interpreted as resulting from the magnetic feedback on the angular momentum fluxes which maintain the rotation law in the shell. The p...

Slow temporal variations in Earth's magnetic field originate in the liquid outer core. We analyzed the evolution of nonaxisymmetric magnetic flux at the core surface over the past 400 years. We found that the most robust feature is westward motion at 17 kilometers per year, in a belt concentrated around the equator beneath the Atlantic hemisphere. Surprisingly, this motion is dominated by a sin...

In a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmological model with zero spatial curvature, we consider the interaction of the gravitational waves with the plasma in the presence of a weak magnetic field. Using the relativistic hydromagnetic equations it is verified that large amplitude magnetosonic waves are excited, assuming that both, the gravitational field and the weak magnetic field do not brea...
