Abstract

The effects of uniform parallel magnetic field upon the stability of a free boundary layer of an incompressible, electrically conducting fluid with small magnetic Prandtl number γ are investigated for flows of large Reynolds number R : The condition for stabilizing the disturbance with the wave-number α is obtained as a relationship between N (=γ R A 2 , A : the Alfven number), α R and γ.
