Abstract
The general three-dimensional flow of a compressible, inviscid, perfectly conducting fluid in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is considered when the undisturbed flow and magnetic field are parallel. The flow is shown to be essentially similar to the ordinary flow of a hypothetical nonconducting gas with an appropriate pressure-density relation. General considerations are given to the smallperturbation theory of magnetohydrodynamic flows at large or small Reynolds numbers. Using the Stokes type approximation, the general expressions are obtained for the magnetic field and velocity, as well as the force and momentum acting on a body in the flow at small magnetic and ordinary Reynolds numbers.
