Magnetohydrodynamic Verification Problem and Solution

ORAL

Abstract

A new magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) verification test problem has been developed. The problem consists of an infinite conducting cylinder of arbitrary but constant conductivity and uniform magnetic permeability that is rotating at constant angular velocity in an infinite vacuum background. Initially there is a uniform magnetic field everywhere. The two-dimensional time and space dependent solution for the magnetic field in the conductor and the vacuum regions will be discussed.
