Helical magnetorotational instability of Taylor-Couette flows in the Rayleigh limit and for quasi-Kepler rotation
Guenther Ruediger, Manfred Schultz
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) of differential rotation under the simultaneous presence of axial and azimuthal components of the (current-free) magnetic field is considere…
The Tayler instability and the Hall effect in protoneutron stars
Guenther Ruediger, Manfred Schultz, Michael Mond +1
Collapse calculations indicate that the hot newly born protoneutron stars (PNS) rotate differentially so that strong toroidal magnetic field components should exist in the outer cr…
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…
Theory of current instability experiments in magnetic Taylor-Couette flows
G. Ruediger, M. Schultz, D. Shalybkov +1
We consider the linear stability of dissipative MHD Taylor-Couette flow with imposed toroidal magnetic fields. The inner and outer cylinders can be either insulating or conducting;…
A non-axisymmetric magnetorotational instability of a purely toroidal magnetic field
R. Hollerbach, G. Rudiger, M. Schultz +1
We consider the flow of an electrically conducting fluid between differentially rotating cylinders, in the presence of an externally imposed toroidal field B_0 (r_i/r) e_phi. It is…
Experimental evidence for magnetorotational instability in a helical magnetic field
Frank Stefani, Thomas Gundrum, Gunter Gerbeth +4
A recent paper [R. Hollerbach and G. Rudiger, Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 124501 (2005)] has shown that the threshold for the onset of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in a Taylor-…
