Nonaxisymmetric instabilities of neutron star with toroidal magnetic fields
Aims. Super magnetized neutron stars of ∼1015 G, magnetars, and magnetized protoneutron stars born after the magnetically-driven supernovae are likely to have very strong toroidal magnetic fields. Methods. Long-term, three-dimensional general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations were performed to prepare isentropic neutron stars with toroidal magnetic fields in equilibrium as initial co...
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 کاملPhysics of burning plasmas in toroidal magnetic confinement devices
Some of the crucial physics aspects of burning plasmas magnetically confined in toroidal systems are presented from the viewpoint of nonlinear dynamics. Most of the discussions specifically refer to tokamaks, but they can be readily extended to other toroidal confinement devices. Particular emphasis is devoted to fluctuation induced transport processes of mega electron volts energetic ions and ...
متن کاملToroidal Momentum Confinement in Tokamaks
Theories for the toroidal momentum confinement in tokamaks have been developed. It is shown that the logarithmic gradient of the toroidal flow is a linear combination of logarithmic gradients of the plasma pressure and the temperature in neoclassical quasilinear theory. The fluctuation-induced toroidal stress consists of a diffusion flux, a convective flux, and a residual flux. The effects of a...
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...
