Three-dimensional anisotropic pressure free boundary equilibria
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Free boundary three-dimensional anisotropic pressure magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with nested magnetic flux surfaces are computed through the minimisation of the plasma energy functional W = V d 3 x [B 2 /(2μ 0) + p /(Γ − 1)]. The plasma–vacuum interface is varied to guarantee the continuity of the total pressure [p ⊥ + B 2 /(2μ 0)] across it and the vacu...
متن کاملJet Snake Magnetohydrodynamic Equilibria
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium states with a three-dimensional helical core that display the characteristics of a saturated ideal internal kink mode are computed to model snake structures that have been observed in the JET tokamak (Weller et al 1987 Phys. Rev. Lett. 59 2303). The equilibrium states are calculated with a peaked pressure profile and a weak to moderate reversed core magneti...
متن کاملCylindrical ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with incompressible flows
It is proved that (a) the solutions of the ideal magnetohydrodynamic equation, which describe the equlibrium states of a cylindrical plasma with purely poloidal flow and arbitrary cross sectional shape [G. N. Throumoulopoulos and G. Pantis, Plasma Phys. and Contr. Fusion 38, 1817 (1996)] are also valid for incompressible equlibrium flows with the axial velocity component being a free surface qu...
متن کاملElliptic and hyperelliptic magnetohydrodynamic equilibria
The present study is a continuation of a previous one on ”hyperelliptic” axisymmetric equilibria started in [Tasso and Throumoulopoulos, Phys. Plasmas 5, 2378 (1998)]. Specifically, some equilibria with incompressible flow nonaligned with the magnetic field and restricted by appropriate side conditions like ”isothermal” magnetic surfaces, ”isodynamicity” or P +B/2 constant on magnetic surfaces ...
متن کاملAnisotropic scaling of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
We present a quantitative estimate of the anisotropic power and scaling of magnetic field fluctuations in inertial range magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, using a novel wavelet technique applied to spacecraft measurements in the solar wind. We show for the first time that, when the local magnetic field direction is parallel to the flow, the spacecraft-frame spectrum has a spectral index near 2. T...
