On the Cylindrical Grad-shafranov Equation
An activity of many compact objects – Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), Young Stellar Objects (YSOs), microquasars – is associated with the highly collimated jets. These jets are thought to be a natural outlet of an excess angular momentum of a central object and accreting matter [1]. The latest observations indicating the jet rotation in AGNs [2] and YSOs [3] support this idea. The most attractiv...
متن کاملTheory of perturbed equilibria for solving the Grad-Shafranov equation
The theory of perturbed magnetohydrodynamic equilibria is presented for di erent formulations of the tokamak equilibrium problem. For numerical codes, it gives an explicit Newton scheme for solving the Grad-Shafranov equation subject to di erent constraints. The problem of stability of axisymmetric modes is shown to be a particular case of the equilibrium perturbation theory.
متن کاملSolving the Grad-Shafranov equation with spectral elements
The development of a generalized two dimensional MHD equilibrium solver within the nimrod framework [1] is discussed. Spectral elements are used to represent the poloidal plane. To permit the generation of spheromak and other compact equilibria, special consideration is given to ensure regularity at the geometric axis. The scalar field Λ = ψ/R is used as the dependent variable to express the Gr...
متن کاملComment on "Solitonlike solutions of the Grad-Shafranov equation".
In the above entitled recent publication by Giovanni Lapenta [Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 135005 (2003) ] it is claimed construction of a new class of solitonlike solutions for the Grad-Shafranov equation in plane geometry. It is proved here that, because of the mathematically erroneous choice∇p = |Ψ|Ψ∇Ψ for an analytic continuation of the poloidal magnetic flux-function Ψ in the complex plane (p is t...
متن کاملA Family of Analytic Equilibrium Solutions for the Grad-Shafranov Equation
A family of exact solutions to the Grad-Shafranov equation, similar to those described by Atanasiu et al. [C. V. Atanasiu, S. Günter, K. Lackner, I. G. Miron, Phys. Plasmas 11 3510 (2004)], is presented. The solution allows for finite plasma aspect ratio, elongation and triangularity, while only requiring the evaluation of a small number of well-known hypergeometric functions. Plasma current, p...
