Notes:
A three-dimensional magnetodydrodynamic flow with a combined effect of convection and diffusion is reduced to a two-dimensional problem by a variable transformation. The original field is composed of a unidirectional vorticity and an aligned magnetic field superimposed on an axisymmetric straining flow in an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid. By restricting consideration to the axisymmetric vorticity and magnetic fields, an exact solution is presented, which shows time evolution from general initial profiles. In a particular case of constant straining, the solution simultaneously approaches the state of a concentrated cylindrical vortex and a magnetic tube of Gaussian profile sharing a common symmetry axis.
