Abstract

The stability of a particular class of steady axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic flows of a nonviscous incompressible liquid with a uniform density and an infinite conductivity against perturbations of the same symmetry is studied. It is proved by using the direct Lyapunov method that the flows are absolutely stable against imposed perturbations both in a linear approximation and in an exact nonlinear statement. A priori upper estimates indicate that the integrals of the sum of the squares of perturbations of the velocity field’s radial and angular components over the cross section of the flow are limited in time by their initial data.
