Stable states in the radiant heat transfer of the near field for two parallel slabs
In this paper, we study the dynamics of the radiative heat transfer of between two slabs. In these systems, depending on the type of slabs and the thermal interaction they have with their surroundings, they can have one or several stable states in the phase space. It can be seen that in these systems, quantities such as distance and thickness affect the states of these systems. We show that the...
متن کاملBall Lightning Fusion Reactors
Spinning plasma toroids, or spinning spheromaks, are reported as forming in partial atmosphere during highpower electric arc experiments. They are a new class of spheromaks because they are observed to be stable in partial atmosphere with no confining external toroidal magnetic fields, and are observed to endure for more than 600 ms. Included in this paper is a model that explains these stable ...
متن کاملStable Spheromak Formation By Merging In An Oblate Flux Conserver
An axisymmetric spheromak formed by the dynamic merging of two smaller spheromaks of the same magnetic helicity in the Swarthmore Spheromak Experiment SSX M. R. Brown, Phys. Plasmas 6, 1717 1999 has been observed and characterized. The spheromak is formed in an oblate tilt stable , trapezoidal, 6 mm wall copper flux conserver in SSX, which is 0.5 m in diameter and L=0.4 m in length at its large...
متن کاملMagnetic axis safety factor of finite β spheromaks and transition from spheromaks to toroidal magnetic bubbles
Abstract The value of the safety factor on the magnetic axis of a finite-beta spheromak is shown to be a function of beta in contrast to what was used in P. M. Bellan, Phys. Plasmas 9, 3050 (2002); this dependence on beta substantially reduces the gradient of the safety factor compared to the previous calculation. The method for generating finite-beta spheromak equilibria is extended to generat...
متن کاملLarge-scale Magnetic Fields in Stellar Interiors I – Relaxed Equilibrium Configurations to Model Fossil Fields
The understanding of fossil fields origin, topology and stability is one of the corner stone of the stellar magnetism theory. On one hand, since they survive over secular time-scales, they may modify the structure and the evolution of their host stars. On the other hand, they must have a complex stable structure since it has been demonstrated by Tayler and collaborators that simplest purely pol...
