Non-axisymmetric instability of axisymmetric magnetic fields
Context. The MHD instabilities can generate complex field topologies even if the initial field configuration is a very simple one. Aims. We consider the stability properties of magnetic configurations containing a toroidal and an axial field. In this paper, we concentrate mainly on the behavior of non-axisymmetric perturbations in axisymmetric magnetic configurations. Methods. The stability is ...
متن کاملTransport barriers in non-axisymmetric magnetic fields
A transport barrier which is characterized by the steeper temperature or/and density gradient has been observed both in the core region (internal transport barrier : ITB) and edge region (edge transport barrier : ETB) in the plasmas with non-axisymmetric magnetic fields compared with the gyro-Bohm type L-mode transport. A reduction of thermal conductivity and particle diffusivity in these plasm...
متن کاملTheory of plasma confinement in non-axisymmetric magnetic fields.
The theory of plasma confinement by non-axisymmetric magnetic fields is reviewed. Such fields are used to confine fusion plasmas in stellarators, where in contrast to tokamaks and reversed-field pinches the magnetic field generally does not possess any continuous symmetry. The discussion is focussed on magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium conditions, collisionless particle orbits, and the kinetic th...
متن کاملA dynamo model for axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric solar magnetic fields
Increasing observations are becoming available about a relatively weak, but persistent, non-axisymmetric magnetic field co-existing with the dominant axisymmetric field on the Sun. It indicates that the non-axisymmetric magnetic field plays an important role in the origin of solar activity. A linear non-axisymmetric α − Ω dynamo model is set up to discuss the characteristics of the axisymmetric...
متن کاملNon-axisymmetric Flows on Hot Jupiters with Oblique Magnetic Fields
Giant planets that reside in close proximity to their host stars are subject to extreme irradiation, which gives rise to thermal ionization of trace Alkali metals in their atmospheres. On objects where the atmospheric electrical conductivity is substantial, the global circulation couples to the background magnetic field, inducing supplementary fields and altering the nature of the flow. To date...
