The structure of static MHD equilibria that admit continuous families of Euclidean symmetries is well understood. Such field configurations are governed by the classical Grad-Shafranov equation, which is a single elliptic PDE in two space…
Recent results will be presented on steady states of magnetically confined plasmas obtained by conventional and Hamiltonian methods. The presentation consists of three parts. The first one concerns the derivation of a generalized…
The classical approach to visualizing a flow, in terms of its streamlines, motivates a topological/soft-analytic argument for constrained variational equations. In its full generality, that argument provides an explicit formula for…
We construct smooth, non-symmetric plasma equilibria which possess closed, nested flux surfaces and solve the magnetohydrostatic (steady three-dimensional incompressible Euler) equations with a small force. The solutions are also `nearly'…
In toroidally confined plasmas, the Grad-Shafranov equation, in general a non-linear PDE, describes the hydromagnetic equilibrium of the system. This equation becomes linear when the kinetic pressure is proportional to the poloidal magnetic…
Nonlinear tranlational symmetric equilibria with up to quartic flux terms in the free functions, reversed magnetic shear and sheared flow are constructed in two ways: i) quasianalytically by an ansatz which reduces the pertinent generalized…
For static reductions of isotropic and anisotropic Magnetohydrodynamics plasma equilibrium models, a complete classification of admitted point symmetries and conservation laws up to first order is presented. It is shown that the symmetry…
A general solution to linearized Vlasov equation for an electron electrostatic wave in a homogeneous unmagnetized plasma is derived. The quasi-linear diffusion coefficient resulting from this solution is a continuous function of omega in…
In this paper, a new exact solution of general Degasperis-Procesi (gDP) equation, a nonlinear equation in plasma, will be constructed by using PPA method, extended trigonometry and extended hyperbolic method. gDP equation is a good…
In the study of conformal geometry, the method of elliptic partial differential equations is playing an increasingly significant role. Since the solution of the Yamabe problem, a family of conformally covariant operators (for definition,…
The hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell system of equations is suitable to describe a magnetized plasma at scales of the order of or larger than proton kinetic scales. An exact stationary solution is presented by revisiting previous results with a…
The conformal mapping approach is a well established technique for solving the Euler equations for potential flows with one spatial dimension. In this work, we extend this framework to problems with a weakly transversal dependence and, by…
We propose an efficient semi-Lagrangian characteristic mapping method for solving the one+one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson equations with high precision on a coarse grid. The flow map is evolved numerically and exponential resolution in…
In axisymmetric fusion reactors, the equilibrium magnetic configuration can be expressed in terms of the solution to a semi-linear elliptic equation known as the Grad-Shafranov equation, the solution of which determines the poloidal…
In this paper, we present very first results for the adaptive solution on a grid of the phase space of the Vlasov equation arising in particles accelarator and plasma physics. The numerical algorithm is based on a semi-Lagrangian method…
In the present paper, we obtain some gradient estimates for positive solutions to the following nonlinear parabolic equation under general geometric flow on complete noncompact manifolds.
We develop an approach of Grad-Shafranov (GS) reconstruction for toroidal structures in space plasmas, based on in-situ spacecraft measurements. The underlying theory is the GS equation that describes two-dimensional magnetohydrostatic…
In this paper, we consider the two-dimensional surface quasi-geostrophic equation with fractional horizontal dissipation and fractional vertical thermal diffusion. Global existence of classical solutions is established when the dissipation…
A hitherto difficult and unsolved issue in plasma physics is how to give a general numerical solver for complicated plasma dispersion relation, although we have long known the general analytical forms. We transform the task to a full-matrix…
We consider bifurcation of solutions from a given trivial branch for a class of strongly indefinite elliptic systems via the spectral flow. Our main results establish bifurcation invariants that can be obtained from the coefficients of the…
