Applied Scientific Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Certain steady magnetohydrodynamic flows of a viscous incompressible fluid, in which the magnetic field is everywhere orthogonal to the velocity field, are related to viscous compressible flows having zero magnetic field. Examples are given to illustrate this relationship. Other linked magnetic and non-magnetic flows can be found using similar processes.
