Abstract

It is established that for three-dimensional disturbances the long-range effect is observed even in the absence of boundaries. The problem of the evolution of the electrodynamic and gas dynamic disturbances created by a localized vorticity source is considered. It is shown that acoustic disturbances of a nonlocal nature are formed. The spatial structure of the electric potential and the nonlocal electric field created by localized initial vorticity at a finite value of the Hall parameter is investigated.
