چکیده
A sufficient condition for the linear stability of three dimensional equilibria with incompressible flows parallel to the magnetic field is derived. The condition involves physically interpretable terms related to the magnetic shear and the flow shear.

Elliptic and hyperelliptic magnetohydrodynamic equilibria
The present study is a continuation of a previous one on ”hyperelliptic” axisymmetric equilibria started in [Tasso and Throumoulopoulos, Phys. Plasmas 5, 2378 (1998)]. Specifically, some equilibria with incompressible flow nonaligned with the magnetic field and restricted by appropriate side conditions like ”isothermal” magnetic surfaces, ”isodynamicity” or P +B/2 constant on magnetic surfaces ...
متن کاملIdeal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with helical symmetry and incompressible flows
A recent study on axisymmetric ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with incompressible flows [H. Tasso and G. N. Throumoulopoulos, Phys. Plasmas 5, 2378 (1998)] is extended to the generic case of helically symmetric equilibria with incompressible flows. It is shown that the equilibrium states of the system under consideration are governed by an elliptic partial differential equation for the he...
متن کاملNon-linear asymptotic stability for the through-passing flows of inviscid incompressible fluid
The paper addresses the dynamics of inviscid incompressible fluid confined within bounded domain with the inflow and outflow of fluid through certain parts of the boundary. This system is non-conservative essentially since the fluxes of energy and vorticity through the flow boundary are not equal to zero. Therefore, the dynamics of such flows should demonstrate the generic non-conservative phen...
متن کاملOn MHD stability of gravitating plasmas with field aligned flows
A previous stability condition (see Throumoulopoulos and Tasso, Physics of Plasmas 14, 122104 (2007)) for incompressible plasmas with field aligned flows is extended to gravitating plasmas including selfgravitation. It turns out that the stability condition is affected by gravitation through the equilibrium values only.
متن کاملCylindrical ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with incompressible flows
It is proved that (a) the solutions of the ideal magnetohydrodynamic equation, which describe the equlibrium states of a cylindrical plasma with purely poloidal flow and arbitrary cross sectional shape [G. N. Throumoulopoulos and G. Pantis, Plasma Phys. and Contr. Fusion 38, 1817 (1996)] are also valid for incompressible equlibrium flows with the axial velocity component being a free surface qu...
