Abstract

We consider in this paper the hydromagnetic flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid induced by the differential rotation of an insulating boundary. A uniform magnetic field parallel to the axis of rotation is applied at a large distance from the interface. The method of matched asymptotic expansions is employed to study the hydromagnetic coupling between different regions of fluid flow and the interior of the insulating boundary.
