This document presents a detailed analytical model of Electro-Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics (EMHD), derived from fundamental principles and material constitutive relations. The study examines the combined effects of unsteady electric and magnetic fields on polarizable and magnetizable fluids. A simpler EMGD model is introduced, focusing on second-order effects. The EMHD model is crucial for understanding non-linear cross effects and outlines the essential physical properties needed for the modeling of such flows, with applications in various fields such as combustion processes, marine vehicles, and pharmaceuticals.

CONCLUSIONS Starting from fundamental principles and material constitutive relations, a complete analytical model (EMGD) was derived for combined influence of unsteady electric and magnetic fields on a moving compressible fluid that is polarizable and magnetizable. A simpler model of the EMGD was then derived by neglecting the terms which are higher than the secondorder . A complete model for the incompressible flow-field under the combined influence of unsteady electric and magnetic fields (EMHD) was derived in a consistent manner. The EMHD model allows for non-linear cross effects of electro-magnetic field and clearly specifies which physical properties need to be known for the modeling of such flows.
