IC/P4-3 Simulation Studies of Field-Reversed Configurations with Rotating Magnetic Field Current Drive

First results of 3D kinetic simulations of rotating magnetic field (RMF) current drive in fieldreversed configuration (FRC) are presented. Self-consistent hybrid simulations have been performed using the HYM code for evenand odd-parity RMF and different FRC parameters. Simulations show that the RMF pushes the plasma radially inward, resulting in a reduced plasma density outside separatrix. Lowe...

Nonaxisymmetric magnetic field generation in rapidly rotating late-type stars

Abstract. Recently the discovery of the “flip-flop” phenomenon, by which a predominant “active” longitude jumps by about 180◦, on several rapidly rotating late-type stars has directed attention to the issues surrounding the presence of large-scale nonaxisymmetric magnetic fields in these objects. Here we study nonlinear mean field dynamo models with quasi-cylindrical rotation laws, acting in sp...

Thermal Convection in a (Kuvshiniski-type) Viscoelastic Rotating Fluid in the Presence of Magnetic Field through Porous Medium (TECHNICAL NOTE)

  The effect of magnetic field on an incompressible (Kuvshiniski-Type) viscoelastic rotating fluid heated from below in porous medium is considered. For the case of stationary convection, magnetic field and medium permeability have both stabilizing and destabilizing effect on the thermal convection under some conditions whereas rotation has a stabilizing effect on the thermal convection. In the...
