摘要

We develop and test spectral Galerkin schemes to solve the coupled Orr-Sommerfeld and induction equations for parallel. incompressible MHD in free-surface and fixed-boundary, geometries. The schemes' discrete bases consist of Legendre internal shape functions, supplemented with nodal shape functions for the weak imposition of the stress and insulating boundary conditions. The orthogonality properties of the basis polynomials solve the matrix-coefficient growth problem, and eigenvalue-eigenfunction pairs can be computed stably at spectral orders at least as large as p = 3000 with p-independent roundoff error. Accuracy is limited instead by roundoff sensitivity due to non-normality of the stability operators at large hydrodynamic and/or magnetic Reynolds numbers (Re. Rm greater than or similar to 4 x 10(4)). In problems with Hartmann velocity and magnetic-field profiles we employ suitable Gauss quadrature rules to evaluate the associated exponentially weighted sesquilinear forms without error. An alternative approach. which involves approximating the forms by means of Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto quadrature at the 2p - 1 precision level, is found to yield equal eigenvalues within roundoff error. As a consistency check, we compare modal growth rates to energy growth rates in nonlinear simulations and record relative discrepancy smaller that, 10(5) for the least stable mode in free-surface flow at Re = 3 x 10(4). Moreover, we confirm that the computed normal modes satisfy an energy conservation law for free-surface MHD with error smaller than 10(6). The critical Reynolds number in free-surface MHD is found to be sensitive to the magnetic Prandtl number Pin, even at the Pm = O(10(5)) regime of liquid metals. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc.
