Abstract
The stability to small perturbations of a 2D flow of a conducting viscous fluid with large Reynolds numbers in a longitudinal magnetic field is investigated. A complete linearized system of magnetohydrodynamics equations is considered using the method of collocations and the differential sweep method. The dependences of the critical Reynolds numbers on the electrical conductivity are analyzed in detail. A new instability branch for large Reynolds numbers and a jumpwise variation of the critical Reynolds numbers are discovered.
