Abstract

The effect of a parallel magnetic field upon the stability of the plane interface between two conducting viscous fluids in uniform relative motion is considered. A parameter reduction, which has not previously been noted, is employed to facilitate the solution of the problem. Neutral stability curves for unrestricted ranges of the governing parameters are found, and the approximate solutions of other authors are examined in this light.
