Abstract
Chandrasekhar's nonlinear force-free field, discovered in 1956, is a rare example of a nonlinear force-free field describing a large coherent structure of axisymmetric magnetic field lines with swirls in the presence of Alfv\'en waves. We demonstrate that his traveling wave solution is orbitally stable with the energy norm in ideal MHD regarding weak ideal limits of axisymmetric Leray-Hopf solutions.
