INTERACTION OF A PLANE JET WITH A MAGNETIC FIELD

Abstract

An analysis is made of the distortion of a plane, supersonic free jet by a strong magnetic field. The field is created by a straight wire placed outside of the jet and normal to the plane of flow. The entire flow field is obtained numerically by the method of characteristics for several locations of the wire when the magnetic Reynolds number is small. The magnetic field tends to decelerate the flow to sonic velocity without the formation of shocks. The resultant force acting on the wire is found to vary linearly with the interaction parameter N for values of N as large as 0.1.
