Helicity, a measure of the linkage of flux lines, has subtle and largely unknown effects upon dynamics. Both magnetic and hydrodynamic helicity are conserved for ideal systems and could suppress nonlinear dynamics. What actually happens is…

When an unmagnetized plasma comes in contact with a material surface, the difference in mobility between the electrons and the ions creates a nonneutral layer known as the Debye sheath (DS). However, in magnetic fusion devices, the open…
