Abstract:
The flow of gas along a magnetic field with time dependent geometry has been studied. It is seen that the velocity of the flow in the direction of the magnetic field depends both on the magnitude of the velocity of flow perpendicular to the field as well as on its spatial variation. Further, the nature of the flow is not very senstive to the choice of base temperature and polytropic index. The application of this study to magnetofluid dynamic flow on the Sun is discussed.
