Generalized Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Equations for Pair and Electron-Ion Plasmas
We derived one-fluid equations based on a relativistic two-fluid approximation of e pair plasma and electron-ion plasma to reveal the specific relativistic nature of their behavior. Assuming simple condition on the relativistic one-fluid equations, we propose generalized relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) equations which satisfy causality. We show the linear analyses of these equations reg...
متن کاملNumerical solution of quasilinear kinetic diffusion equations in toroidal plasmas
One of the main challenges for the realization of a working fusion power plant is an increased detailed understanding of kinetic phenomena in toroidal plasmas. The tokamak is a toroidal, magnetically confined plasma device and is currently the main line towards a power plant. The spatial and temporal scales in a tokamak plasma are extreme and the only tractable path for quantitative studies is ...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic Equilibrium with Flow in Toroidal Plasmas and its Relevance to Internal Transport Barriers
The appearance of transport barriers in plasmas is usually taken to be the result of bifurcations in the transport equations, in which the possible control parameters is the radial electric field, in association with shear flow, which may contribute to the reduction or suppression of turbulent fluctuations. Yet, most calculations start from the assumption of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibira...
متن کاملPoloidal-toroidal decomposition in a finite cylinder. I: Influence matrices for the magnetohydrodynamic equations
TheNavier-Stokes equations andmagnetohydrodynamics equations are written in terms of poloidal and toroidal potentials in a finite cylinder. This formulation insures that the velocity and magnetic fields are divergence-free by construction, but leads to systems of partial differential equations of higher order, whose boundary conditions are coupled. The influence matrix technique is used to tran...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic stability of a toroidal plasma's separatrix.
Large tokamaks capable of fusion power production such as ITER, should avoid large edge localized modes (ELMs), thought to be triggered by an ideal magnetohydrodynamic instability due to current at the plasma's separatrix boundary. Unlike analytical work in a cylindrical approximation, numerical work finds the modes are stable. The plasma's separatrix might stabilize modes, but makes analytical...
