Adiabatic transverse waves in a conducting gas
Abstract
This paper is an investigation of the effect of a magnetic field on transverse waves in a perfectly conducting gas which is rotating like a Rankine vortex about the axis of a cylinder. The magnetic field is assumed to be in the axial direction. There are three waves: two waves are rotating in the same direction as the gas, one faster and the other slower than the core speed of the gas, and one wave rotates in the opposite direction.
