Abstract

In this article we consider a plasma outflow confined by a magnetic field, and we discuss the minimum (or threshold) values of the magnetic field that would be necessary to govern the dynamics of the flow. We also introduce a statistical force developed on the basis of the theory of characteristic mixing lengths to model the momentum transfer through a kind of turbulent viscosity originated in averaged turbulent processes, with and without a magnetic field. In this way we extend the first part of this work, adding magnetic and turbulent effects to the action of the force due to the pressure gradient and gravitational compression.
