A numerical study of the magnetic induction equation has been performed on von Kármán type flows. These flows are generated by two co-axial counter-rotating propellers in cylindrical containers. Such devices are currently used in the von Kármán sodium (VKS) experiment designed to study...

The magnetohydrodynamical equations for a multi-component magnetized ionic mixture are used to derive the spectrum of collective modes for small wave numbers. The results are compared with those from formal kinetic theory, which is based on the microscopic balance equations and a...

We investigate several means of coupling between a sonoluminescing bubble and an applied magnetic field. Recent experiments show a strong quadratic dependence between the forcing pressures required for stable sonoluminescence and magnetic field amplitude. However, all coupling mechanisms...
