Hydrodynamic analogy of nonlinear plasma flows
Abstract
Some new aspects of an analogy between plasma in a magnetic field and a rotating shallow liquid are considered. Effects of gyroscopic screening and resonant wave excitation are studied. The results of numerical simulations of the nonlinear evolution of sheared flows in rotating shallow water are presented.
