A CRITICAL SURVEY OF MAGNETOFLUID DYNAMICS. PART III. QUASI-ONE DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS OF MAGNETOGAS DYNAMICS,

Abstract

A critical survey is presented of the flow of an ionized gas in a channel under the influence of transverse electro-magnetic fields. First, the exact quasi-one dimensional equations of magneto-gas dynamics are derived. The importance of the various covariance coefficients is pointed out. In the literature, only the cases with covariance coefficients of unity have been reported. A survey of these cases has been made which includes (1) inviscid steady flow, (2) steady flow of viscous and heat-conducting fluid and (3) unsteady flow. Finally, we summarize our present knowledge of quasione dimensional flow of magneto-gas dynamics and make some recommendations for future research. (Author)
