The biggest challenges mankind ever faces are falling energy sources and food shortages. If controlled nuclear fusion were achieved with net energy yield, the energy source problem would be solved. If natural photosynthesis were reproduced, food shortage concern would be addressed. Though both nuclear fusion and photosynthesis are universal, the difficulties to achieve them are disproportionall...

Within the framework of holography, Einstein-Maxwell action with Dirichlet boundary conditions corresponds to a dual conformal field theory in presence an external gauge field. Nevertheless, many real-world applications, e.g., magnetohydrodynamics, plasma physics, superconductors, etc. dynamical fields and Coulomb interactions are fundamental. In this work, we consider bottom-up holographic mod...

The Parker instability, which has been considered as a process governing the structure of the interstellar medium, is induced by the buoyancy of magnetic field and cosmic rays. In previous studies, while the magnetic field has been fully incorporated in the context of isothermal magnetohydrodynamics, cosmic rays have been normally treated with the simplifying assumption of infinite diffusion al...

Surface and structural damage to plasma-facing components (PFCs) due to the frequent loss of plasma con®nement is a serious problem for the tokamak reactor concept. The plasma energy deposited on these components during loss of con®nement causes signi®cant surface erosion, possible structural failure, and frequent plasma contamination. Surface damage consists of vaporization, spallation, and li...

Generation of Alfvénic (magnetohydrodynamic) vortices by the interaction of compressible plasma flows with magnetic-field-aligned blunt obstacles is modeled in terms of magnetohydrodynamics. It is found that periodic shedding of vortices with opposite vorticity is a robust feature of the interaction in a broad range of plasma parameters: for plasma beta from 0.025 to 0.5, and for the flow speed...

Within the context of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), properties a parallel shock do not depend on field strength, as and fluid are disconnected for such geometry. However, in collisionless case, can sustain stable anisotropy downstream, triggering departure from expected MHD behavior. In recent work [A. Bret R. Narayan, J. Plasma Phys. \textbf{84}, 905840604 (2018)], theoretical model was presente...

A bstract We provide a statistical mechanical derivation of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics on the basis (3 + 1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics; system endowed with magnetic one-form symmetry. The conservation laws and constitutive relations are presented in manifestly covariant way respect to general coordinate transformation. method local Gibbs ensemble (or nonequilibrium operator) com...

An algorithm suitable for numerical solution of linear eigenmode problems in resistive magnetohydrodynamics MHD and two-fluid MHD models without prior approximations is presented. For these plasma models, sets of equations suitable for numerical solution are derived and the details of the algorithm of this solution are given. The algorithm is general and is suitable for solution of boundary eig...
