Abstract

The theory of stability of the flow of a viscous, electrically conducting fluid between rotating cylinders in the presence of an axial magnetic field is extended to the case where the cylinders are permeable and the primary flow includes a radial component. Numerical results pertaining to the stationary axially symmetric modes are presented, and the asymptotic stability behaviour for large values of the radial Reynolds number is derived.
