Magnetic field diffusion in a converging flow of a conducting incompressible fluid
Description
The effect of a finite conductivity on the buildup of a magnetic field in a converging plasma flow is analyzed using incompressible MHD. The results show that in the collapse of a cavity in a conducting fluid a slight magnetic viscosity results in a decay of the field flux in the cavity to zero in accordance with a power law which is unrelated to the property of self-similarity
