Abstract
The magnetic hydrodynamics of an incompressible fluid, in addition to the usual hydrodynamic forces (inertial, viscous, and pressure gradient), take into account the electromagnetic force, which, in fact, sets magnetohydrodynamics apart as an individual branch of general hydrodynamics. The inclusion of additional force is not only an efficient tool to control the flow, but also leads to a variety of purely hydrodynamic phenomena which are not realizable by the usual methods.
