The helical magnetorotational instability in cylindrical Taylor--Couette flow

Hollerbach, R.; Stefani, F.; Gerbeth, G.; Gundrum, T.; Rüdiger, G.

Abstract

We present new results from the PROMISE experiment, consisting of a GaInSn alloy confined between differentially rotating cylinders, in the presence of a combined axial and azimuthal (helical) magnetic field. The apparatus has been upgraded to incorporate split-ring end-plates, thereby reducing end-effects. The resulting traveling-wave disturbances are in good agreement with theoretical predictions for the onset of the helical magnetorotational instability.
