内容記述 | A magnetohydrodynamic model that examines the effect of rotating an electrically conducting cylinder with a uniform external magnetic field applied orthogonal to its axis is presented. Noting a simple geometry, it can be classified as a fundamental dynamo problem. For the case of an infinitely long cylinder, an analytical solution is obtained and analyzed in detail. A semi-analytical model was developed that considers a finite cylinder. Experimental data from a spinning brass wheel in the presence of Earth's magnetic field were compared to the proposed theory and found to fit well. |
