AbstractThe effect of varying magnetic field strength on the frequency of oscillatory motions for cellular multimode magnetoconvection has been investigated. In addition the influence of the thermal, viscous and magnetic diffusivities have been taken into account and the range of preferred horizontal scales established. The relationship between the period of oscillation and the magnetic field strength is determined.

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effect is observed in flowing electrolytic fluids and their interactions with magnetic fields. The magnetic field (B0), when perpendicular with the electrolytic fluid flow (μ), causes the shift of the charged particles in the fluid to shift across the length of the vessel (L) normal to the plane of B0 and flow, creating a voltage (VMHD) observable through voltage potential measurements across the flow (Eqn. 1)[1].(1)VMHD=∫0Lu⇀×B0⇀·dL⇀In the medical field, this phenomenon is commonly encountered inside of a human body inside of an MRI machine (Fig. 1). The effect appears most prominently inside the aortic arch due to orientation and size, and is a large contributing factor to noise observed in intra-MRI ECGs [2, 3]. Traditionally, this MHD induced voltage (VMHD) was filtered out to obtain clean intra-MRI ECGs, but recent studies have shown that the VMHD induced in a vessel is related to the blood flow through it (stroke volume in the case of the aortic arch) [4]. Further proof of this relationship can be shown from the increase in VMHD measured from periphery blood vessels during periods of elevated heart rate from exercise stress, when compared to baseline state [5]. Previously, a portable device was built to utilize induced VMHD as an indicator of flow [6]. The device was capable of showing change in blood flow, utilizing a blood flow metric obtained from VMHD, however a quantitative relationship between VMHD and blood flow has yet to be established. This study aims to define the relationship between induced VMHD and magnetic field strength in a controlled setting. Through modulating the distance between a pair of magnets around a flow channel, we hope to better realize the relationship between magnetic field strength and induced VMHD with constant flow and electrolytic solution concentration.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) involving stress measurement has found a wide range of applications in rail, pipeline, bridge and other engineering areas and it is therefore necessary to find a method to measure stress. In this paper, a non-destructive method is proposed to measure stress by observation of the magnetostrictive properties of the objects. Stress in the elastic range is applied to the ferromagnetic material, changing its lattice, while stress in the plastic range changes its microstructure. These are the reasons for the magnetostrictive coefficient variation of the material. An experimental platform was set up, using a cantilever beam with a strain gauge, to study the relationship between the SH wave, the static magnetic field strength and the applied uniaxial stress. The curve obtained shows the relationship between the amplitude of the electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) signal and the static magnetic field strength. The magnetostrictive parameters, sensitive to stress, were extracted from the curve. This method is verified through trials on test samples with a maximum relative error between experimental and predicted values of 8.06%.

1.The fine structure of the proton sunspot group of July 4–8, 1966 was studied on the basis of high-resolution heliograms. The comparison of the orientation between penumbral filaments and the transverse magnetic fields (observed by A.B. Severny and T.T. Tsap) shows that the direction of the filaments coincides in general with that of the magnetic field.2.Measurements of the magnetic fields of smallest pores (1·5″-2″) showed that the pores are always connected with strong magnetic field (in average 1400 gauss), which is localized at the same small area as the pore.3.Magnetic fields of faculae are concentrated in small elements with the dimension not exceeding 1·5″-3″. Magnetic-field strength H|| of about 45% of facular granules is within the limits of photographic measuring errors (approximately 25 gauss). For a quarter of all facular granules the strength H|| is from 25–50 gauss; about 30% of facular granules have H|| > 50 gauss, and sometimes there appear faculae with field strength of about 200 gauss. The magnetic-field strength of facular granules, which are found directly above spots, is 10–20 times less than the field strength of spots. This field is 80–210 gauss only.4.All observational data mentioned above show that the appearance of the fine-structure features in active regions is directly connected with the fine structure of magnetic field of different strength and different orientation. The study of high-resolution heliograms gives additional information about the fine structure of the magnetic field.

Context. In a recent statistical study of sunspots in 79 active regions, the vertical magnetic field component Bver averaged along the umbral boundary is found to be independent of sunspot size. The authors of that study conclude that the absolute value of Bver at the umbral boundary is the same for all spots. Aims. We investigate the temporal evolution of Bver averaged along the umbral boundary of one long-lived sunspot during its stable phase. Methods. We analysed data from the HMI instrument on-board SDO. Contours of continuum intensity at Ic = 0.5Iqs, whereby Iqs refers to the average over the quiet sun areas, are used to extract the magnetic field along the umbral boundary. Projection effects due to different formation heights of the Fe I 617.3 nm line and continuum are taken into account. To avoid limb artefacts, the spot is only analysed for heliocentric angles smaller than 60°. Results. During the first disc passage, NOAA AR 11591, Bver remains constant at 1693 G with a root-mean-square deviation of 15 G, whereas the magnetic field strength varies substantially (mean 2171 G, rms of 48 G) and shows a long term variation. Compensating for formation height has little influence on the mean value along each contour, but reduces the variations along the contour when away from disc centre, yielding a better match between the contours of Bver = 1693 G and Ic = 0.5Iqs. Conclusions. During the disc passage of a stable sunspot, its umbral boundary can equivalently be defined by using the continuum intensity Ic or the vertical magnetic field component Bver. Contours of fixed magnetic field strength fail to outline the umbral boundary.

Context.Apparent radial velocity (RV) signals induced by stellar surface features such as spots and plages can result in a false planet detection or hide the presence of an orbiting planet. Our ability to detect rocky exoplanets is currently limited by our understanding of such stellar signals.Aims.We model RV variations caused by active regions on the stellar surface of typical exoplanet-hosting stars of spectral type F, G, and K. We aim to understand how the stellar magnetic field strength, convective blueshift, and spot temperatures can influence RV signals caused by active regions.Methods.We use magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations for stars with spectral types F3V, a G2V, and a K5V. We quantify the impact of the magnetic field strength inside active regions on the RV measurement using the magnetic and non-magnetic FeI lines at 6165 Å and 6173 Å. We also quantify the impact of spot temperature and convective blueshift on the measured RV values.Results.Increasing the magnetic field strength increases the efficiency to suppress convection in active regions which results in an asymmetry between red- and blueshifted parts of the RV curves. A stronger suppression of convection also leads to an observed increase in RV amplitude for stronger magnetic fields. The MHD simulations predict convective motions to be faster in hotter stars. The suppression of faster convection leads to a stronger RV amplitude increase in hotter stars when the magnetic field is increased. While suppression of convection increases the asymmetry in RV curves,c a decreasing spot temperature counteracts this effect. When using observed temperatures for dark spots in our simulations we find that convective blueshift effects are negligible.
