Abstract

An effect of an axial current on the propagation of low-frequency axisymmetric magnetohydroclynamic waves in a radially non-uniform plasma column was investigated theoretically and experimentally. It was found that the axial current and the density gradient cause a coupling between the torsional and compressional waves.
