On MHD stability of gravitating plasmas with field aligned flows
نویسندگان
چکیده
A previous stability condition (see Throumoulopoulos and Tasso, Physics of Plasmas 14, 122104 (2007)) for incompressible plasmas with field aligned flows is extended to gravitating plasmas including selfgravitation. It turns out that the stability condition is affected by gravitation through the equilibrium values only.

Stability 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...
متن کاملAzimuthally symmetric MHD and two–fluid equilibria with arbitrary flows
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and two–fluid quasi-neutral equilibria with azimuthal symmetry, gravity and arbitrary ratios of (nonrelativistic) flow speed to acoustic and Alfvén speeds are investigated. In the two–fluid case, the mass ratio of the two species is arbitrary, and the analysis is therefore applicable to electron–positron plasmas. The methods of derivation can be extended in an obvious ...

Nonlinear evolution of magneto-hydro-dynamic (MHD) oscillatory phenomenon driven by the interaction with energetic particles has been studied in CHS using twin heavy ion beam probes. The measurements have provided the fine observation of internal structure of plasma quantities, such as electric field, density and magnetic field distortion during a cycle of the MHD phenomenon. The finding of a n...
متن کاملTransient MHD Convective Flow of Fractional Nanofluid between Vertical Plates
Effects of the uniform transverse magnetic field on the transient free convective flows of a nanofluid with generalized thermal transport between two vertical parallel plates have been analyzed. The fluid temperature is described by a time-fractional differential equation with Caputo derivatives. Closed form of the temperature field is obtained by using the Laplace transform and fractional deri...
متن کاملLocal stability criterion for self-gravitating disks in modified gravity
We study local stability of self-gravitating fluid and stellar disk in the context of modified gravity theories which predict a Yukawa-like term in the gravitational potential of a point mass. We investigate the effect of such a Yukawa-like term on the dynamics of self-gravitating disks. More specifically, we investigate the consequences of the presence of this term for the local stability of t...
