Chaos in magnetic flux ropes
Magnetic flux ropes immersed in a uniform magnetoplasma are observed to twist about themselves, writhe about each other and rotate about a central axis. They are kink unstable and smash into one another as they move. Each collision results in magnetic field line reconnection and the generation of a quasi-separatrix layer. Three-dimensional magnetic field lines are computed by conditionally aver...

متن کاملFlow instabilities of magnetic flux tubes III. Toroidal flux tubes
Context. The stability properties of toroidal magnetic flux tubes are relevant for the storage and emergence of magnetic fields in the convective envelope of cool stars. In addition to buoyancyand magnetic tension-driven instabilities, flux tubes are also susceptible to an instability induced by the hydrodynamic drag force. Aims. Following our investigation of the basic instability mechanism in...
متن کاملHeliospheric evolution of solar wind small‐scale magnetic flux ropes
[1] We present results from the first comprehensive small‐scale flux rope survey between 0.3 and 5.5 AU using the Helios 1, Helios 2, IMP 8, Wind, ACE, and Ulysses spacecrafts to examine their occurrence rate, properties, and evolution. Small‐scale flux ropes are similar to magnetic clouds and can be modeled as a constant‐alpha, force‐free, cylindrically symmetric flux rope. They differ from ma...
متن کاملControlled Laboratory Experiments on Expanding Magnetic Flux Ropes
Since the dawn of our civilization for many individuals it has been a natural curiosity to study the physical world. Historical records date back as far as 2000 B.C. documenting observed Sun-Earth phenomena like the aurora. It was not until the 17 century that scientific theories began to try and explain the happenings of such phenomena and to this day our inquiries persist and continue to grow...
