Compensation of instabilities in magnetic Taylor-Couette flow.

Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys

August 2007

A.F. Ioffe Institute for Physics and Technology, 194021, St. Petersburg, Russia.

The axisymmetric linear stability of the Taylor-Couette flow with an azimuthal magnetic field is considered. It is shown that a flow with the combination of a linearly unstable rotation and a linearly unstable azimuthal magnetic field can be linearly stable. The flow stabilization takes place for both ideal and dissipative flows.

The axisymmetric linear stability of dissipative Taylor-Couette flow with an azimuthal magnetic field is considered. The magnetic field can be unstable without a rotation. This is the well-known pinch type instability.

Pinch instabilities in Taylor-Couette flow.

Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys

January 2006

A.F. Ioffe Institute for Physics and Technology, 194021 St. Petersburg, Russia.

The linear stability of the dissipative Taylor-Couette flow with an azimuthal magnetic field is considered. Unlike ideal flows, the magnetic field is a fixed function of a radius with two parameters only: a ratio of inner to outer cylinder radii, eta, and a ratio of the magnetic field values on outer and inner cylinders, muB.
