Abstract

The electro-magneto-hydrodynamic (EMHD) flow and instabilities engendered by the Lorenz force arising from interaction between externally applied perpendicular electric and magnetic fields are investigated in layers of two immiscible liquids in a channel. A new finite wave-number EMHD instability mode is uncovered by the Orr–Sommerfeld analysis, in addition to the interfacial and shear modes which also arise in the pressure-driven flows. Thus, EMHD can be controlled for micro-channel transport, heat and mass transfer, mixing, micro-emulsion generation, etc.
