Abstract

Recent work at the Yerkes Observatory has been concerned with the study of configurations in which the magnetic and velocity fields possess a common axis of symmetry. In those cases where the density ρ may be assumed constant, it has proved advantageous to employ a representation suggested by Lüst and Schlüter[1]: in cylindrical co-ordinates (ω, ϕ, z) let and where is a unit vector and T, P, V, and U are independent of the azimuthal angle Φ. The hydrodynamic equation may then be replaced by the pair of equations (cf. Ghandrasekhar [2]) and where Δ5 is the Laplacian operator in 5 dimensions. The equation for the magnetic field, may similarly be replaced by the pair of equations and
