Abstract
The influence of a uniform magnetic field on an electrically conducting fluid generally yields greater stability and delays the appearance of turbulence. Schematically, this is due to the fact that, in general, perturbations induce eddy currents, whose energy is dissipated by Joule heating. In this chapter, we intend to analyse this phenomenon specifying how the critical conditions depend on the applied magnetic field and discussing the specific features of the perturbations which can nevertheless exist in the presence of a magnetic field.
