Magnetic field

  1. GVEC provides flexible 3D MHD equilibrium solutions
    GVEC solves 3D magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium equations for stellarators using flexible coordinates that represent complex plasma boundaries with simple cross-sections.
  2. Analytical model estimates MHD pressure losses in lead-lithium flow
    Analytical model and CFD validation for MHD pressure drop in lead-lithium flows for fusion reactor breeding blankets under variable magnetic field conditions.
  3. Shock precursor type changes ion and electron acceleration
    Simulations reveal two distinct regimes in transrelativistic shocks where competing plasma instabilities produce dramatically different particle acceleration efficiencies for ions and electrons.
  4. Structure-preserving simulations show differing turbulence behavior
    Structure-preserving simulations of three magnetohydrodynamics models reveal divergent cascade mechanisms and vorticity dynamics despite shared Hamiltonian geometry.
  5. Q–Monopole–Ball soliton with unit magnetic charge exists
    Existence proof of Q-Monopole-Ball solitons with unit magnetic charge using shooting methods, extending classical monopole theory and providing non-gravitational binding mechanisms.
  6. Cold ions enable ion-acoustic waves in asymmetric reconnection
    Particle-in-cell simulations characterize ion-acoustic wave excitation and energy transfer mechanisms in asymmetric magnetic reconnection with cold ion populations.
