Applied Scientific Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The concept of superposability of hydromagnetic flows has been discussed by Kapur1). In the present paper, we have used the results of that paper to discuss: (i) superposability of wave motions, (ii) hydrostatic equilibrium of magnetic stars, (iii) effects of viscosity in axially symmetric hydromagnetic flows, (iv) axially symmetric force-free fields, (v) general force-free fields.
