Cylindrical 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 کاملMagnetohydrodynamics equilibria with toroidal and poloidal flow
In the present work, the effects of flow on tokamak equilibria are investigated, focusing in particular on the effects of poloidal flows. It is shown that discountinuous transonic equilibria with a pedestal structure can be obtained for relatively low values of the poloidal velocity. Equilibria with poloidal flow of the order of the poloidal Alfvén speed are shown to develop inverted Shafranov ...
متن کاملOn resistive magnetohydrodynamic equilibria of an axisymmetric toroidal plasma with flow
It is shown that the magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium states of an axisymmetric toroidal plasma with finite resistivity and flows parallel to the magnetic field are governed by a second-order partial differential equation for the poloidal magnetic flux function ψ coupled with a Bernoulli type equation for the plasma density (which are identical in form to the corresponding ideal MHD equilibrium ...
متن کاملNonlinear axisymmetric resistive magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with toroidal flow
The equilibrium of a resistive axisymmetric plasma with purely toroidal flow surrounded by a conductor is investigated within the framework of the nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic theory. It is proved that a) the poloidal current density vanishes and b) apart from an idealized case the pressure profile should vanish on the plasma boundary. For the cases of isothermal magnetic surfaces, isentropic ...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic simulations of edge poloidal flows
Edge poloidal flows exceeding the poloidal sound speed lead to the formation of a pedestal structure [GUAZZOTTO, L. and BETTI, R., Phys. Rev. Lett. 107 (2011) 125002]. This result is based on the existence of “transonic” equilibria, in which the edge region of the plasma flows supersonically with respect to the poloidal sound speed (i.e., the sound speed reduced by a factor Bθ/B), while the pla...
