Comment on "Helical MRI in magnetized Taylor-Couette flow"
G. Ruediger, R. Hollerbach
Liu et al. [Phys. Rev. E 74, 056302 (2006)] have presented a WKB analysis of the helical magnetorotational instability (HMRI), and claim that it does not exist for Keplerian rotati…
Spherical Couette flow in a dipolar magnetic field
Rainer Hollerbach, Elisabeth Canet, Alexandre Fournier
We consider numerically the flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a differentially rotating spherical shell, in a dipolar magnetic field. For infinitesimal differential rotat…
Destabilisation of hydrodynamically stable rotation laws by azimuthal magnetic fields
G. Ruediger, R. Hollerbach, M. Schultz +1
We consider the effect of toroidal magnetic fields on hydrodynamically stable Taylor-Couette differential rotation flows. For current-free magnetic fields a nonaxisymmetric m=1 mag…
Experiments on the magnetorotational instability in helical magnetic fields
Frank Stefani, Thomas Gundrum, Gunter Gerbeth +3
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) plays a key role in the formation of stars and black holes, by enabling outward angular momentum transport in accretion disks. The use of co…
