Relaxed Plasma Equilibria and Entropy-Related Plasma Self-Organization Principles
The concept of plasma relaxation as a constrained energy minimization is reviewed. Recent work by the authors on generalizing this approach to partially relaxed threedimensional plasma systems in a way consistent with chaos theory is discussed, with a view to clarifying the thermodynamic aspects of the variational approach used. Other entropy-related approaches to finding long-time steady state...
متن کاملNumerical calculation of axisymmetric nonneutral plasma equilibria
Efficient techniques for computing axisymmetric non-neutral plasma equilibria are described. These equilibria may be obtained either by requiring global thermal equilibrium, by specifying the midplane radial density profile, or by specifying the radial profile of sn dz. Both splines and finite-differences are used, and the accuracy of the two is compared by using a new characterization of the t...
متن کاملElectronegative plasma equilibria with spatially varying ionization
Electronegative inductive discharges in higher pressure ranges typically exhibit strongly localized ionization near the coil structure, with decay of the electron temperature and ionization into the central discharge region. We use a two-dimensional (2D) fluid code with a chlorine feedstock gas to determine the spatial profiles of the particle densities and electron temperature in a cylindrical...
متن کاملMagnetic-surface quality in nonaxisymmetric plasma equilibria.
The confinement of plasmas by magnetic fields with nonaxisymmetric shaping can be degraded or destroyed by the breakup of the magnetic surfaces through effects that are intrinsic to the shaping. An efficient perturbation method of determining this drive for islands was developed and applied to stellarator equilibria.
متن کاملInverse Compton Scattering in Mildly Relativistic Plasma
We investigated the effect of inverse Compton scattering in mildly relativistic static and moving plasmas with low optical depth using Monte Carlo simulations, and calculated the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect in the cosmic background radiation. Our semi-analytic method is based on a separation of photon diffusion in frequency and real space. We use Monte Carlo simulation to derive the intensity and...
