A concise review is given of astrophysically motivated experimental and theoretical research
on Taylor–Couette flow. The flows of interest rotate differentially with the inner cylinder faster …

Abstract Decades ago S. Lundquist, S. Chandrasekhar, PH Roberts and RJ Tayler first
posed questions about the stability of Taylor–Couette flows of conducting material under the …

This updated revision gives a complete and topical overview on Nonconservative Stability
which is essential for many areas of science and technology ranging from particles trapping …

We report the first direct evidence for the axisymmetric standard magnetorotational instability
(SMRI) from a combined experimental and numerical study of a magnetized liquid-metal …

The standard magnetorotational instability (SMRI) is a promising mechanism for turbulence
and rapid accretion in astrophysical disks. It is a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instability …

We perform a local stability analysis of rotational flows in the presence of a constant vertical
magnetic field and an azimuthal magnetic field with a general radial dependence …

Magnetorotational instability (MRI) is considered as the most likely mechanism driving
angular momentum transport in astrophysical disks. However, despite many efforts, a direct …

We investigate sustenance and dependence on magnetic Prandtl number (Pm) for
magnetorotational instability (MRI)-driven turbulence in Keplerian disks with zero net …

Context. Asteroseismic measurements of the internal rotation rate in evolved stars pointed to
a lack of angular momentum (AM) transport in stellar evolution models. Several physical …

Magnetic fields of planets, stars and galaxies are generated by self-excitation in moving
electrically conducting fluids. Once produced, magnetic fields can play an active role in …
