Magnetoelastic vibrations of an electrically conductive elastic layer in a longitudinal magnetic field

Based on the exact solution of a coupled problem of the magnetoelastic vibrations of an elastic electrically conductive layer (for a finite value of its electrical conductance) in a longitudinal magnetic field, we have established that, in the case of such vibrations of a thin plate, one can obtain correct results proceeding from Kirchhoff’s hypothesis and the hypothesis of magnetoelasticity of thin bodies.     

Calculation of the magnetic field due to a bioelectric current dipole in an ellipsoid

The bioelectric current dipole model is important both theoretically and computationally in the study of electrical activity in the brain and stomach due to the resemblance of the shape of these two organs to an ellipsoid. To calculate the magnetic field B due to a dipole in an ellipsoid, one must evaluate truncated series expansions involving ellipsoidal harmonics , which are products of Lamé functions. In this article, we extend a strictly analytic model (G. Dassios and F. Kariotou, J. Math. Phys. 44 (2003), 220–241), where B was computed from an ellipsoidal harmonic expansion of order 2. The present derivations show how the field can be evaluated to arbitrary order using numerical procedures for evaluating the roots of Lamé polynomials of degree 5 or higher. This can be accomplished using an optimization technique for solving nonlinear systems of equations, which allows one to acquire an understanding of the truncation error associated with the harmonic series expansion used for the calculation.

Vector magnetic field in solar polar region

By means of ‘deep integration’ observations of a videomagnetograph the vector magnetic field was first systematically measured near the solar south polar region on April 12, 1997 when the Sun was in the minimal phase between the 22nd and 23rd solar cycle. It was found that the polar magnetic field deviated from the normal of solar surface by about 42.2° ± 3.2°, a stronger magnetic element may have smaller inclination, and that within the polar cap above heliolatitude of 50°, the unsigned and net flux densities were 7.8 × 10⁻⁴) T and −3.4×10⁻⁴T, respectively, and consequently, the unsigned and net fluxes were about 5.5 × 10²² and − 2.5 × 10²² Mx. The net magnetic flux, which belongs to the large-scale global magnetic field of the Sun, roughly appmaches the order of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) measured at distance of 1 AU.

Stability estimate for an inverse problem for the wave equation in a magnetic field

In this article, we prove stability estimate of the inverse problem of determining the magnetic field entering the magnetic wave equation in a bounded smooth domain in ? ^d from boundary observations. This information is enclosed in the hyperbolic (dynamic) Dirichlet-to-Neumann map associated to the solutions to the magnetic wave equation. We prove in dimension d ≥ 2 that the knowledge of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for the magnetic wave equation measured on the boundary determines uniquely the magnetic field and we prove a Hölder-type stability in determining the magnetic field induced by the magnetic potential.     

The dressed nonrelativistic electron in a magnetic field

We consider a nonrelativistic electron interacting with a classical magnetic field pointing along the x₃‐axis and with a quantized electromagnetic field. When the interaction between the electron and photons is turned off, the electronic system is assumed to have a ground state of finite multiplicity. Because of the translation invariance along the x₃‐axis, we consider the reduced Hamiltonian associated with the total momentum along the x₃‐axis and, after introducing an ultraviolet cutoff and an infrared regularization, we prove that the reduced Hamiltonian has a ground state if the coupling constant and the total momentum along the x₃‐axis are sufficiently small. We determine the absolutely continuous spectrum of the reduced Hamiltonian and, when the ground state is simple, we prove that the renormalized mass of the dressed electron is greater than or equal to its bare one. We then deduce that the anomalous magnetic moment of the dressed electron is nonnegative. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Effects of an induced magnetic field on the peristaltic flow of a third‐order fluid

In this article, we carry out the effect of an induced magnetic field on the peristaltic transport of an incompressible conducting third order fluid in a symmetric channel. The flow analysis has been developed for low Reynolds number and long wave length approximation. Analytical solutions have been established for the axial velocity, stream function, magnetic force function, and axial‐induced magnetic field. The effects of pertinent parameters on the pressure rise per wavelength are investigated by using numerical integration. Besides this, we study the effect of these parameters on the pressure gradient and axial induced magnetic field. The phenomena of trapping and pumping are also discussed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2010     

The influence of an external magnetic field on the dynamic stress of an elastic conducting one-sided layer with a longitudinal shear crack

We study the interaction of a magnetoelastic shear wave with a curvilinear tunnel crack in an ideally conducting diamagnetic (resp. paramagnetic) one-sided (resp. two-sided) layer in the presence of an external static magnetic field. The bases of the one-sided layer are free of mechanical load, and the rim of the face is clamped or free. The corresponding linearized boundary-value problem of magnetoelasticity is reduced to a singular integrodifferential equation with subsequent implementation on a computer. We give numerical results that characterize the influence of the size of the preliminary magnetic field, the frequencies of the load, the curvature, and the orientation of the crack on the stress intensity factor.

Computation of axisymmetric MHD flows in a channel with an external longitudinal magnetic field

A numerical study of two-dimensional plasma flows in coaxial channels of plasma accelerators is presented. Two new results are obtained. First, for the computation of MHD problems belonging to the class under consideration, Zalesak’s method is used. It is based on an explicit finite difference scheme with flux correction. This method is free of space splitting, and, therefore, is well suited for parallel computations on multiprocessors. Second, the statement of the problem is extended so that the acceleration of the plasma by the azimuth magnetic self-field goes on in the presence of an external longitudinal field. The results of test computations demonstrate the efficiency of the method and made it possible to investigate the influence of the longitudinal field on the properties of the plasma flows.

Convergence rate of solutions toward stationary solutions to a two-phase model with magnetic field in a half line

In this paper, we study an asymptotic behavior of a solution to the outflow problem for a two-phase model with magnetic field. Our idea mainly comes from [1] and [2] which investigate the asymptotic stability and convergence rates of stationary solutions to the outflow problem for an isentropic Navier–Stokes equation. For the two-phase model with magnetic field, we also obtain the asymptotic stability and convergence rates of global solutions towards corresponding stationary solutions if the initial perturbation belongs to the weighted Sobolev space. The proof is based on the weighted energy method.

Asymptotic model for free surface flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a high-frequency magnetic field

We study the behaviour of a layer of an electrically conducting inviscid incompressible fluid in a high-frequency alternating magnetic field. We derive nonlinear asymptotic equations governing the evolution of the fluid layer in the high-frequency limit. As a test for the model, we consider the linearised stability problem for an infinite planar free surface of a layer of finite depth.
