A numerical algorithm for the simulation of magnetohydrodynamics in partially ionized ablated material is described. For the hydro part, the hyperbolic conservation laws with electromagnetic terms is solved using techniques developed for free surface flows; for the electromagnetic part, the electrostatic approximation is applied and an elliptic equation for electric potential is solved. The alg...

High resolution, fully kinetic, three dimensional (3D) simulation of collisionless plasma turbulence shows the development of turbulence characterized by sheetlike current density structures spanning a range of scales. The nonlinear evolution is initialized with a long wavelength isotropic spectrum of fluctuations having polarizations transverse to an imposed mean magnetic field. We present evi...

We investigate mechanisms of energy extraction from a rotating black hole in terms of negative energy-at-infinity. In addition to the Penrose process through particle fission, the Blandford-Znajek mechanism by magnetic tension, and the magnetohydrodynamic Penrose process, we examine energy extraction from a black hole caused by magnetic reconnection in the ergosphere. The reconnection redistrib...

The quantum hydrodynamic model for charged particle systems is extended to the cases of non zero magnetic fields. In this way, quantum corrections to magnetohydrodynamics are obtained starting from the quantum hydrodynamical model with magnetic fields. The quantum magnetohydrodynamics model is analyzed in the infinite conductivity limit. The conditions for equilibrium in ideal quantum magnetohy...

We derive a new model for neutrino-plasma interactions in an expanding universe that incorporates the collective effects of neutrinos on plasma constituents. start from kinetic description multi-species flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric, where particles are coupled to through charged- and neutral-current forms weak interaction. then fluid equations specialize our (a) lepton epoch, we consi...

Reduction of core-resonant magnetic fluctuations and improved confinement in the Madison Symmetric Torus reversed-field pinch (MST RFP) have been routinely achieved by applying the surface poloidal electric field. The created inductive poloidal electric field drives current in plasma which leads to the improved confinement. To study the effect we developed a relatively simple 1-D model in cylin...

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 discr...

A generalization of reduced magnetohydrodynamics is constructed from moments of the Fokker-Planck equation. The new model uses familiar aspect-ratio approximations but allows for (i) evolution as slow as the diamagnetic drift frequency, thereby including certain finite Larmor radius effects, (ii) pressure gradient terms in a generalized Ohm's law, thus making accessible the adiabatic electron l...
