Small steady-state deformational oscillations of a drop of magnetic liquid in a nonstationary uniform magnetic field are theoretically investigated. The drop is suspended in another magnetic liquid immiscible with the former. The Reynolds number is so small that the inertia can be neglected. The variation of the magnetic field is so slow that the quasi-stationary approximation for the magnetic field and the quasi-steady approximation for the flow may be used.

Rotating motion of a propagating LIB is analyzed in order to suppress the mixed mode of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, the tearing instability and the sausage instability by the action of a self-induced magnetic field in the axial direction. The beams are assumed to be charge-neutralized but not current-neutralized. The steady-state solutions of a propagating LIB with rotation are first obtained numerically. Through the dispersion relation with respect to the ikonal type of perturbations, which are added to the steady-state solutions, the growth rates of instabilities appearing in an LIB are obtained. It is concluded that if the mean rotating velocity of an LIB is comparable to the propagation velocity, in other words, if the induced magnetic field intensity in the axial direction is comparable to the magnetic field intensity in the azimuthal direction, the instability disappears in the propagating ion beam.

This paper investigates the intensity distribution along the radial direction for plasma flow subject to external magnetic Field. The toroidal external magnetism is applied in the transverse direction of plasma flow. Considering the steady-state continuity and momentum of the plasma flow subject to external magnetic field, the intensity profile of the plasma is obtained. The results quantitatively verify the intensity enhancement of the plasma with the increasing external magnetic field.

The penetration of an externally applied rotating magnetic field into a plasma cylinder is examined. Steady-state solutions of an appropriate set of magneto-fluid equations show that, provided the amplitude and rotation frequency of the field are suitably chosen, the penetration is not limited by the usual classical skin effect. The enhanced penetration of the rotating field is accompanied by the generation of a unidirectional azimuthal electron current which is totally absent in a purely resistive plasma cylinder.

The system studied is a plasma streaming parallel to a uniform magnetic field with a velocity which varies in a transverse direction. The flow is bounded at y =± a by perfectly conducting planes.The Poisson-Vlasov equations are used to derive an integro-differential equation for ø the Fourier transform of the electrostatic potential. The kernel of this equation is expanded using a small Larmor radius expansion for ø and for the equilibrium distribution function f0.


A convective eddy imposed on an initially uniform magnetic field in a highly conducting fluid distorts the lines of force and amplifies the field. Flux is concentrated outside the eddy; within it, the field grows and its scale of variation decreases until resistive effects become important. Closed lines of force are then formed by reconnexion. The central field decays and a steady state is reached. Within a period, small compared with the characteristic time for resistive decay, magnetic flux is almost entirely expelled from regions of rapid motion and concentrated at the edges of convection cells. This process is demonstrated from numerical experiments. The results are applied to the sun, where the concentrated fields are strong enough to inhibit convection locally.
