The paper considers the plane one-dimensional flows for magnetohydrodynamics in the mass Lagrangian coordinates. The inviscid, thermally non-conducting medium is modeled by a polytropic gas. The equations are examined for symmetries and…

We reconsider the topological interpretation of magnetic helicity for magnetic fields in open domains, and relate this to the relative helicity. Specifically, our domains stretch between two parallel planes, and each of these ends may be…
