Abstract

Compared to the results in \cite{Shivamoggi}, using the normal mode method, we have rigorously confirmed that a transverse magnetic field reduces the stability of the system. Specifically, a larger velocity is required for stability in the presence of a magnetic field than in its absence. More precisely, when the magnitude of the magneto-acoustic Mach number MB:=v˙1+CˉB>2M_{B}:=\frac{\dot{v}_1^{+}}{\bar{C}_{B}}>\sqrt{2}, we proved the well-posedness of the current vortex sheet problem for compressible MHD flows with a transverse magnetic field.
