Nonlinear axisymmetric resistive magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with toroidal flow
The equilibrium of a resistive axisymmetric plasma with purely toroidal flow surrounded by a conductor is investigated within the framework of the nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic theory. It is proved that a) the poloidal current density vanishes and b) apart from an idealized case the pressure profile should vanish on the plasma boundary. For the cases of isothermal magnetic surfaces, isentropic ...
متن کاملHybrid magnetohydrodynamic-gyrokinetic simulation of toroidal Alfven modes
Resonant energetic particles play a major role in determining the stability of toroidal Alfven eigemnodes (TAE’s) by yielding the well-known driving mechanism for the instability and by producing an effective dissipation, which removes the singular character of local oscillations of the shear-Al&n continuum and gives discrete kinetic Alfven waves (KAW’s). Toroidal coupling of two counterpropaga...
متن کاملOn resistive magnetohydrodynamic equilibria of an axisymmetric toroidal plasma with flow
It is shown that the magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium states of an axisymmetric toroidal plasma with finite resistivity and flows parallel to the magnetic field are governed by a second-order partial differential equation for the poloidal magnetic flux function ψ coupled with a Bernoulli type equation for the plasma density (which are identical in form to the corresponding ideal MHD equilibrium ...
متن کاملOscillations of magnetic stars II. Axisymmetric toroidal and non-axisymmetric shear Alfvén modes in a spherical shell
We carry out numerical and mathematical investigations of shear Alfvén waves inside of a spherical shell filled with an incompressible conducting fluid, and bathed in a strong dipolar magnetic field. We focus on axisymmetric toroidal and non-axisymmetric modes, in continuation of a previous work by Rincon & Rieutord (2003, A&A, 398, 663). Analytical expressions are obtained for toroidal eigenmo...
