场向不可压缩流各向异性压力平衡的线性稳定性

On the linear stability of anisotropic pressure equilibria with field-aligned incompressible flow

A. Evangelias, G. N. Throumoulopoulos

摘要:

本文导出了等离子体平衡的线性稳定性的充分条件,其中不可压缩流平行于磁场,$\bf B$,恒定质量密度和各向异性压力使得量$σ_d= μ_0(P_\parallel -P_\perp)/B^2$保持恒定,其中$P_\parallel$($P_\perp$)是平行(垂直)于$\bf B$的压力张量元.这个条件适用于任何不受几何约束的定常状态。该条件概括了Throumoulopoulos & Tasso(2007)中导出的具有各向同性压力和恒定密度的MHD平衡的相应条件,涉及与磁剪切、流动剪切和垂直于磁表面的总压力变化相关的物理可解释的术语。在此条件的基础上,我们证明了如果一个给定的平衡点是线性稳定的,那么由Bogoyavlenskij对称变换所产生的平衡点也是线性稳定的,只要这些变换中的一个参数是正的.此外,我们研究的压力各向异性,流量和扭转的螺旋磁轴的影响,为一类特定的分析平衡。在这种情况下,我们发现,压力各向异性和流动可能具有稳定或不稳定的影响。此外,具有小扭矩和大螺距的螺旋构型似乎具有更有利的稳定性。

英文摘要:

We derive a sufficient condition for the linear stability of plasma equilibria with incompressible flow parallel to the magnetic field, $\bf B$, constant mass density and anisotropic pressure such that the quantity $σ_d= μ_0(P_\parallel -P_\perp)/B^2$, where $P_\parallel$ ($P_\perp$) is the pressure tensor element parallel (perpendicular) to $\bf B$, remains constant. This condition is applicable to any steady state without geometrical restriction. The condition, generalising the respective condition for MHD equilibria with isotropic pressure and constant density derived in Throumoulopoulos & Tasso (2007), involves physically interpretable terms related to the magnetic shear, the flow shear and the variation of total pressure perpendicular to the magnetic surfaces. On the basis of this condition we prove that if a given equilibrium is linearly stable, then the ones resulting from the application of Bogoyavlenskij symmetry transformations are linearly stable too, provided that a parameter involved in those transformations is positive. In addition, we examine the impact of pressure anisotropy, flow, and torsion of a helical magnetic axis, for a specific class of analytic equilibria. In this case we find that the pressure anisotropy and the flow may have either stabilising or destabilising effects. Also, helical configurations with small torsion and large pitch seem to have more favorable stability properties.
