Remarks on Singularities, Dimension and Energy Dissipation for Ideal Hydrodynamics and MHD

چکیده
For weak solutions of the incompressible Euler equations, there is energy conservation if the velocity is in the Besov spaceB3 s with s greater than 1/3. B p s consists of functions that are Lip(s) (i.e., Hölder continuous with exponent s) measured in the L norm. Here this result is applied to a velocity field that is Lip(α0) except on a set of co-dimension κ1 on which it is Lip(α1), with uniformity that will be made precise below. We show that the Frisch-Parisi multifractal formalism is valid (at least in one direction) for such a function, and that there is energy conservation if minα(3α + κ(α)) > 1. Analogous conservation results are derived for the equations of incompressible ideal MHD (i.e., zero viscosity and resistivity) for both energy and helicity . In addition, a necessary condition is derived for singularity development in ideal MHD generalizing the Beale-Kato-Majda condition for ideal hydrodynamics.

Metriplectic framework for dissipative magneto-hydrodynamics
The metriplectic framework, which allows for the formulation of an algebraic structure for dissipative systems, is applied to visco-resistive Magneto-Hydrodynamics (MHD), adapting what had already been done for non-ideal Hydrodynamics (HD). The result is obtained by extending the HD symmetric bracket and free energy to include magnetic eld dynamics and resistive dissipation. The correct equati...
متن کاملThe Breakdown of Alfvén’s Theorem in Ideal Plasma Flows
This paper presents both rigorous results and physical theory on the breakdown of magnetic flux conservation for ideal plasmas, by nonlinear effects. Our analysis is based upon an effective equation for magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modes at length-scales > l, with smaller scales eliminated, as in renormalization-group methodology. We prove that flux-conservation can be violated for an arbitrarily ...
متن کاملSmoothed Particle Magnetohydrodynamics – I. Algorithm and tests in one dimension
In this paper we show how the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) equations for ideal Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) can be written in conservation form with the positivity of the dissipation guaranteed. We call the resulting algorithm Smoothed Particle Magnetohydrodynamics (SPMHD). The equations appear to be accurate, robust and easy to apply and do not suffer from the instabilities known to exi...

This article presents the heat and mass transfer characteristics of unsteady MHD flow of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting micropolar fluid in the presence of viscous dissipation and radiation over a porous stretching sheet with chemical reaction. The governing partial differential equations (PDEs) are reduced to ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by applying suitable si...
متن کاملStability of Axisymmetric Plasmas in Closed Line Magnetic Fields
The stability of axisymmetric plasmas confined by closed poloidal magnetic field lines is considered. The results are relevant to plasmas in the dipolar fields of stars and planets, as well as the Levitated Dipole Experiment, multipoles, Z pinches and field reversed configurations. The ideal MHD energy principle is employed to study the stability of pressure driven shear Alfvén modes. A point d...
