Abstract
AbstractThe effect of a uniform transverse magnetic field on an incompressible conducting liquid contained in a circular cylinder rotating with constant angular velocity is investigated. The problem is treated as a perturbation one for small magnetic Reynolds and Hartmann numbers. The first order approximation shows that the core of the liquid is slowed down whilst to the second order, perturbations in the circular streamlines appear. However, the latter effects are extremely small for the cases considered here. Some results are presented for a cylinder containing mercury.
