摘要:

我们计算的多弛豫区MHD(MRXMHD)等离子体,或阶梯Beltrami等离子体的稳定性,使用变分和撕裂模式处理。所研究的构型是周期性的圆柱体。在变分处理中,问题归结为界面位移的特征值问题。对于撕裂模式的治疗,撕裂模式的稳定性参数$Δ'$的解析表达式,是跨越谐振表面的螺旋通量的对数跳跃,被发现。这些治疗的稳定性进行比较$m=1$位移的说明性RFP样的配置,包括两个不同的等离子体区域。对于无压构型,我们发现每种处理的边际稳定性结论是相同的,证实了文献中的分析结果。撕裂模式的处理也解决了理想的MHD不稳定的解决方案,其中$Δ' \to \infty$:这些对应于共振界面的位移。壁稳定扫描解决了内部和外部的理想扭结。随着压力的增加也进行扫描:这些表明,无论是变分和撕裂模式治疗有相同的稳定性趋势与$β$,并显示压力稳定的配置与边缘压力增加。结合,我们的研究结果表明,MRXMHD配置是稳定的理想扰动加撕裂模式自动处于稳定状态。这样的配置,和他们的稳定性,是新兴的重要性,在寻求数学上严格的解决方案,理想的MHD力平衡的三维几何形状。

英文摘要:

We calculate the stability of a multiple relaxation region MHD (MRXMHD) plasma, or stepped-Beltrami plasma, using both variational and tearing mode treatments. The configuration studied is a periodic cylinder. In the variational treatment, the problem reduces to an eigenvalue problem for the interface displacements. For the tearing mode treatment, analytic expressions for the tearing mode stability parameter $Δ'$, being the jump in the logarithm in the helical flux across the resonant surface, are found. The stability of these treatments is compared for $m=1$ displacements of an illustrative RFP-like configuration, comprising two distinct plasma regions. For pressure-less configurations, we find the marginal stability conclusions of each treatment to be identical, confirming analytic results in the literature. The tearing mode treatment also resolves ideal MHD unstable solutions for which $Δ' \to \infty$: these correspond to displacement of a resonant interface. Wall stabilisation scans resolve the internal and external ideal kink. Scans with increasing pressure are also performed: these indicate that both variational and tearing mode treatments have the same stability trends with $β$, and show pressure stabilisation in configurations with increasing edge pressure. Combined, our results suggest that MRXMHD configurations which are stable to ideal perturbations plus tearing modes are automatically in a stable state. Such configurations, and their stability properties, are of emerging importance in the quest to find mathematically rigorous solutions of ideal MHD force balance in 3D geometry.
