  abstract  = {A numerical bifurcation analysis of the electrically driven plane sheet pinch is presented. The electrical conductivity varies across the sheet such as to allow instability of the quiescent basic state at some critical Hartmann number. The most unstable perturbation is the two-dimensional tearing mode. Restricting the whole problem to two spatial dimensions, this mode is followed up to a time-asymptotic steady state, which proves to be sensitive to three- dimensional perturbations even close to the point where the primary instability sets in. A comprehensive three- dimensional stability analysis of the two-dimensional steady tearing-mode state is performed by varying parameters of the sheet pinch. The instability with respect to three-dimensional perturbations is suppressed by a sufficiently strong magnetic field in the invariant direction of the equilibrium. For a special choice of the system parameters, the unstably perturbed state is followed up in its nonlinear evolution and is found to approach a three-dimensional steady state.},

  year      = {2000},
  abstract  = {The equilibrium states of electrically conducting fluids or plasmas have been a subject of intense study for a long time, motivated in particular by the interest in controlled thermonuclear fusion, as well as that in space and astrophysical phenomena such as plasma loops in the solar corona. If high temperatures prohibit solid walls, a conducting fluid can be held together by the action of an electric current passing through it with the pressure gradients being balanced by the Lorentz force. The resultant configuration is known as a pinch. In this paper we report on studies of the pinch in the geometry of a plane sheet.},
