1 MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC INSTABILITY OF
A COMPRESSIBLE ANNULAR MGNETIZED FLUID Abstract The capillary stability of a compressible magnetized fluid jet surrounding very dense cylinder is investigated. The object of the present work is to investigate the magneto-hyrodynamic (MHD) instability of a compressible annular fluid jet coaxial with very dense fluid cylinder of negligible motion and surrounded by tenuous medium of negligible inertia. This model is acted by the electromagnetic (with varying magnetic field) and the curvature pressure gradient forces. The derived dispersion relation is valid for all axisymmetric m = 0 and non-axisymmetric m ≠ 0 modes of perturbations where m is an integer called the azimuthal wave number . Some reported works are recovered from the present general result as limiting cases. Such a study has applications in the planetary physics

2 1. Introduction 1.1 The Concept of Stability Here in we follow the concept of stability which is given by Chandrasekhar [1]. Suppose that we have a hydrodynamic system which, in accordance with its governing equations, is in a stationary state, i.e. in a state in which none of the variables describing it is a function of time. Let be a set of parameters which define the system. These parameters will include geometrical parameters such as the dimensions of the system; parameters characterizing the forces which may be acting on the system, such as pressure gradient, temperature gradient, magnetic fields, rotation,….. etc.

3 In considering the stability of such a system (with a given set of parameters
we essentially seek the reaction of the system to small disturbance especially, we ask: if the system is disturbed, will the disturbance gradually die down, or will the disturbance grow in amplitude in such a way that the system progressively departs from the initial state and never reverts to it ? In the former case, we say that the system is stable with respect to the particular disturbance and in the latter case, we say that it is unstable. 1.2 Stability techniques There are several methods for solving the stability problems [2]. We may mention here some of them, e.g., the variation principle method, the energy method and the method of the normal mode analysis. However, every method has its advantages and disadvantages. In the present work we have used the normal mode technique for the perturbation analysis [3]-[4].

4 The dispersion relation of a full liquid jet endowed with surface tension is derived by Chandrasekhar [1] as where σ, S, ρ, R, k, m and are the growth rate, the surface tension coefficient ,fluid density , radius of the cylinder ,the longitudinal wave number , the azimuthal wave number and modified Bessel function of first kind [5]. We deduce from this equation that the liquid jet is stable for all purely non-axisymmetric deformations; but it is unstable for axisymmetric varicose deformations with wave lengths exceeding the circumference of the cylinder. This last result is due to Plateau-Rayleigh [1]. In the present work we make an extension to the pervious equation taking under consideration the effect of magnetic field and the curvature pressure gradient forces on a compressible fluid. The field of MHD has been initiated by Alfvén and others [6], for which he received the Nobel Prize in The set of equations which describe MHD are a combination of the Navier –Stokes equations of fluid dynamics and Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism. The study of Magnetohydrodynamics stability is important in Geophysics, Astrophysics and other fields [7].

For small departures from the equilibrium state, the different variable quantities could be expressed as its unperturbed part plus a fluctuation part (17) where 0 indicates the steady state value and 1 the perturbation stands for each of is an infinitesimal amplitude of the perturbation at any instant of time t, given by (18)

If is the imaginary then is the oscillation frequency Consider a sinusoidal wave along the gas – tenuous interface, using expansion (17) the perturbed cylinder radial distance of the gas jet is described by (19) where (20) is the elevation of the surface wave measured from the unperturbed position, Here k (a real number ) is the longitudinal wave number and m (an integer) is the azimuthal wave number.
