Motion of a current element through a fluid of low electrical conductivity

Motion of a current element through a fluid of low electrical conductivity

Two-dimensional flow of an incompressible, viscous, electrically conducting fluid past a current element is studied. A solution in the form of an asymptotic development is obtained, valid as a certain dimensionless parameter (essentially the product of the electrical conductivity and the current) t...
