Computing Beltrami Fields

چکیده
Abstract. For solving the non-linear equations governing force-free fields, an iterative methodology based on the splitting of the problem is described. On the basis of this splitting, three families of subproblems have to be solved numerically. The first problem consists to find a potential field. A mixed hybrid method is used to solve it. The second problem, which is a curl-div system, is solved by means of a mixed method. The last problem is a transport equation which is approximated using a streamline diffusion technique. Numerical 3D experiences and results are given to illustrate the efficiency of the method.

CONTACT TOPOLOGY AND HYDRODYNAMICS I: Beltrami fields and the Seifert Conjecture
We draw connections between the field of contact topology (the study of totally nonintegrable plane distributions) and the study of Beltrami fields in hydrodynamics on Riemannian manifolds in dimension three. We demonstrate an equivalence between Reeb fields (vector fields which preserve a transverse nowhere-integrable plane field) up to scaling and rotational Beltrami fields (nonzero fields pa...
متن کاملSimultaneous Beltrami Conditions in Coupled Vortex Dynamics
The two-fluid model of a plasma describes the strong coupling between the magnetic and the fluid aspects of the plasma. The Beltrami condition which demands alignment of vortices and flows becomes a system of simultaneous equations in the magnetic field and the flow velocity. Combining these equations yields the double curl Beltrami equation. General solvability of the equation has been proved ...

We draw connections between the field of contact topology and the study of Beltrami fields in hydrodynamics on Riemannian manifolds in dimension three. We demonstrate an equivalence between Reeb fields (vector fields which preserve a transverse nowhere-integrable plane field) up to scaling and rotational Beltrami fields on three-manifolds. Thus, we characterise Beltrami fields in a metric-indep...
متن کاملA New Generic Class of Beltrami “Force-Free” Fields. Part-I: Theoretical considerations
We report on a new general class of solutions of the Beltrami equation, with special characteristics. We also provide examples of solutions that also satisfy Maxwell equations. A subset of these solutions can be isolated which corresponds to " gauge " fields. A special projective geometry of vacuum fields is also revealed and discussed. 1. Introduction The notion of a force-free field comes dir...

Tight Beltrami fields with symmetry. Abstract Given a Seifered fibred 3-manifold M equipped with an S 1-invariant contact form α, we provide a bound on the volume Vol(M) and the curvature, in a suitable adapted Riemannian metric to α, which implies universal tightness of the contact structure ξ = ker α.
متن کاملLeast squares weighted residual method for finding the elastic stress fields in rectangular plates under uniaxial parabolically distributed edge loads
In this work, the least squares weighted residual method is used to solve the two-dimensional (2D) elasticity problem of a rectangular plate of in-plane dimensions 2a 2b subjected to parabolic edge tensile loads applied at the two edges x = a. The problem is expressed using Beltrami–Michell stress formulation. Airy’s stress function method is applied to the stress compatibility equation, and th...
