The Tayler instability of toroidal magnetic fields in a columnar gallium experiment
G. Ruediger, M. Schultz, M. Gellert
The nonaxisymmetric Tayler instability of toroidal magnetic fields due to axial electric currents is studied for conducting incompressible fluids between two coaxial cylinders with…

The pinch-type instability of helical magnetic fields
G. Ruediger, M. Schultz, D. Elstner
To find out whether toroidal field can stably exist in galaxies the current-driven instability of toroidal magnetic fields is considered under the influence of an axial magnetic fi…

Dissipative Taylor-Couette flows under the influence of helical magnetic fields
G. Ruediger, M. Gellert, M. Schultz +1
The linear stability of MHD Taylor-Couette flows in axially unbounded cylinders is considered, for magnetic Prandtl number unity. Magnetic fields varying from purely axial to purel…
