A potential lagrangian formulation of ideal MHD

نویسنده

  • Bruno Després
چکیده

We propose a reformulation of ideal magnetohydrodynamics written in the lagrangian variable as an enlarged system of hyperelastic type, with a specific potential. We study the hyperbolicity of the model and prove that the acoustic tensor is positive for all directions which are non orthogonal to the magnetic field. The consequences for eulerian ideal magnetohydrodynamics and for numerical discretization are briefly discussed at the end of this work.

MAGMA: a 3D, Lagrangian magnetohydrodynamics code for merger applications

We present a new, completely Lagrangian magnetohydrodynamics code that is based on the SPH method. The equations of self-gravitating hydrodynamics are derived self-consistently from a Lagrangian and account for variable smoothing length (“grad-h”-) terms in both the hydrodynamic and the gravitational acceleration equations. The evolution of the magnetic field is formulated in terms of so-called...

UW-CPTC 08-10 Exponential Growth of Nonlinear Ballooning Instability

Recent ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory predicts that a perturbation evolving from a linear ballooning instability will continue to grow exponentially at the same linear growth rate globally in the intermediate nonlinear phase. This theoretical prediction is confirmed in direct MHD simulations of nonlinear ballooning instability growth in a tokamak. The Lagrangian compression, which serve...

A pr 1 99 9 Dynamics of vortex and magnetic lines in ideal hydrodynamics and MHD

Vortex line and magnetic line representations are introduced for description of flows in ideal hydrodynamics and MHD, respectively. For incompressible fluids it is shown that the equations of motion for vorticity Ω and magnetic field with the help of this transformation follow from the variational principle. By means of this representation it is possible to integrate the system of hydrodynamic ...

Geometrical shock dynamics for magnetohydrodynamic fast shocks

We describe a formulation of two-dimensional geometrical shock dynamics (GSD) suitable for ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fast shocks under magnetic fields of general strength and orientation. The resulting area–Mach-number–shock-angle relation is then incorporated into a numerical method using pseudospectral differentiation. The MHD-GSD model is verified by comparison with results from nonlin...

Dynamic Fracture Analysis Using an Uncoupled Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian Finite Element Formulation

This paper deals with the implementation of an efficient Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the three dimensional finite element modeling of mode I self-similar dynamic fracture process. Contrary to the remeshing technique, the presented algorithm can continuously advance the crack with the one mesh topology. The uncoupled approach is employed to treat the equations. So, each t...
