描述从Harris单到无力Harris单过渡的Vlasov-Maxwell平衡分布函数族

A family of Vlasov-Maxwell equilibrium distribution functions describing a transition from the Harris sheet to the force-free Harris sheet

T. Neukirch, F. Wilson, O. Allanson

摘要:

我们讨论了一个家庭的弗拉索夫-麦克斯韦平衡分布函数的电流片平衡之间的哈里斯表和无力(或修改)哈里斯表的中间情况。这些平衡分布函数对空间和天体物理等离子体有潜在的应用。Harrison和Neukirch在2009年简要讨论了这些分布函数的存在性,但这里表明,他们的方法在引导场趋于零的极限中遇到了问题。这个问题的性质将被讨论,并提出一种替代方法,以避免这个问题。这是通过考虑磁场分布的轻微变化来实现的,这允许哈里斯和无力哈里斯片情况之间的平滑过渡。

英文摘要:

We discuss a family of Vlasov-Maxwell equilibrium distribution functions for current sheet equilibria that are intermediate cases between the Harris sheet and the force-free (or modified) Harris sheet. These equilibrium distribution functions have potential applications to space and astrophysical plasmas. The existence of these distribution function had been briefly discussed in by Harrison and Neukirch 2009, but here it is shown that their approach runs into problems in the limit where the guide field goes to zero. The nature of this problem will be discussed and an alternative approach will be suggested that avoids the problem. This is achieved by considering a slight variation of the magnetic field profile, which allows a smooth transition between the Harris and force-free Harris sheet cases.
