Abstract

In this paper we study the stability of the magnetostatic equilibrium through a relaxation of a magnetic field B in perfectly conducting compressible and viscous fluid.We establish stability criterion of a large class of Beltrami flows to any admissible displacement about the equilibrium configuration. We show that the field is stable to any displacement with the same 2π-periodicity as the basic flow, except the case where perturbations with wavelength much greater than the scale of the basic flow are included.
