具有螺旋对称性和不可压缩流的理想磁流体动力学平衡

Ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with helical symmetry and incompressible flows

G. N. Throumoulopoulos, H. Tasso

摘要:

不可压缩流轴对称理想磁流体动力学平衡问题的近期研究[H. Tasso和G. N. Throumoulopoulos,Phys. Plasmas { \bf 5},2378(1998)]扩展到具有不可压缩流的螺旋对称平衡的一般情况。它示出,所考虑的系统的平衡态是由椭圆形偏微分方程的螺旋磁通量函数$ψ$包含5个表面量以及压力的关系。上述方程可转化为一个微分部分与相应的静力平衡方程形式相同的方程,它可有几类解析解。特别是,平衡与电场垂直的磁表面和非恒定马赫数流的构建。与具有等温磁表面的轴对称平衡的情况不同,螺旋对称$T=T(ψ)$平衡是超定的,即,在这种情况下,平衡方程简化为具有七个表面量的一组八个常微分方程。此外,还证明了(a)纯螺旋流(b)非平行流(具有等温磁表面且磁场模量为表面量)的不可压缩螺旋对称平衡(全能平衡)的不存在性。

英文摘要:

A recent study on axisymmetric ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with incompressible flows [H. Tasso and G. N. Throumoulopoulos, Phys. Plasmas {\bf 5}, 2378 (1998)] is extended to the generic case of helically symmetric equilibria with incompressible flows. It is shown that the equilibrium states of the system under consideration are governed by an elliptic partial differential equation for the helical magnetic flux function $ψ$ containing five surface quantities along with a relation for the pressure. The above mentioned equation can be transformed to one possessing differential part identical in form to the corresponding static equilibrium equation, which is amenable to several classes of analytic solutions. In particular, equilibria with electric fields perpendicular to the magnetic surfaces and non-constant-Mach-number flows are constructed. Unlike the case in axisymmetric equilibria with isothermal magnetic surfaces, helically symmetric $T=T(ψ)$ equilibria are over-determined, i.e., in this case the equilibrium equations reduce to a set of eight ordinary differential equations with seven surface quantities. In addition, it is proved the non-existence of incompressible helically symmetric equilibria with (a) purely helical flows (b) non-parallel flows with isothermal magnetic surfaces and the magnetic field modulus being a surface quantity (omnigenous equilibria).
