Electrically Induced Vortical Flows

Part of the book series: Mechanics of Fluids and Transport Processes ((MFTP,volume 9))

Abstract

With this chapter we begin a systematic study of axisymmetric electrically induced vortex flows, the governing equations of which have been presented in the previous chapter. The study will begin with so-called exact solutions, by which we mean those solutions obtained from the full equations of motion without a priori estimates and omission of any terms, say, after the order-of-magnitude analysis (this does not apply to the electrodynamic quantities, which will conform to assumptions simplifying the electrodynamic part of problem).
