Abstract

In certain cases of steady motion of a conducting fluid in a magnetic field, the primitive equations may be integrated once, yielding a second-order partial differential equation in the stream function. This equation is highly non-linear in general, but for certain choices of basic flow and magnetic fields it is tractable. Several arbitrary functions of integration have to be evaluated to make the analysis useful. This may be done in a region that remains undisturbed. A short discussion is given to suggest a procedure for deciding in a special case whether this undisturbed region is ‘upstream’ or ‘downstream’.
