Noncanonical Hamiltonian Density Formulation of Hydrodynamics and Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics
ity a nonlocal potential which could fit neutron elastic scattering data in the energy range from 0.4 to 24 MeV and where the optical-model parameters were energy independent. This is, of course, a remarkable result since we know that the absorption, for instance, is changing quite dramatically by going from 0.4 to 24 MeV incident projectile energy. We believe that these findings of Perey and B...
متن کاملOn the Hamiltonian formulation of incompressible ideal fluids and magnetohydrodynamics via Dirac's theory of constraints
Article history: Received 12 October 2011 Received in revised form 8 December 2011 Accepted 9 December 2011 Available online 13 December 2011 Communicated by F. Porcelli The Hamiltonian structures of the incompressible ideal fluid, including entropy advection, and magnetohydrodynamics are investigated by making use of Dirac’s theory of constrained Hamiltonian systems. A Dirac bracket for these ...
متن کاملNoncanonical Hamiltonian Field Theory
Aspects of noncanonical Hamiltonian field theory are reviewed. '·1any systems are Hamiltonian in the sense of possessing Poisson bracket structures, yet the equations are not in canonical form. A particular sys tem of thi s type is cons idered, namely reduced magnetohydrodynamics (RllHD) which was derived for tokamak modelling. The notion of a liePoisson bracket is reviewed; these are special P...
متن کاملHierarchical structure of noncanonical Hamiltonian systems
Topological constraints play a key role in the self-organizing processes that create structures in macro systems. In fact, if all possible degrees of freedom are actualized on equal footing without constraint, the state of ‘equipartition’ may bear no specific structure. Fluid turbulence is a typical example—while turbulent mixing seems to increase entropy, a variety of sustained vortical struct...
متن کاملA hierarchy of noncanonical Hamiltonian systems
The dynamics of an ideal fluid or plasma is constrained by topological invariants such as the circulation of (canonical) momentum. In the Hamiltonian formalism, topological invariants restrict the orbits to submanifolds of the phase space. While the coadjoint orbits have a natural symplectic structure, the global geometry of the degenerate (constrained) Poisson manifold can be very complex. Som...
