Magnetic-field-aligned rolls evade steady magnetic inhibition

ID: magnetic-field-aligned-rolls-evade-steady-magnetic-inhibition

At a fixed horizontal wavenumber magnitude, the steady neutral curve in the horizontal-field magnetoconvection dispersion relation is minimized by . The disturbance is then constant along the imposed magnetic field; it induces no field bending and incurs no magnetic tension penalty. Minimizing gives the displayed stationary threshold for every . These convection rolls have axes parallel to the imposed field. This assertion concerns steady onset.
