Plasma Magnetization and the Determination of Hydromagnetic Equilibrium

Equilibrium of a plasma and a magnetic field is determined through a plasma magnetization M with both local and nonlocal contributions. The equations of equilibrium are thus posed in soluble form, ∇ ×  H  = 0 and ∇· B  = 0 with B  =  H +4π M , possible previously only when pressures depended on |  B...

Description
Summary:Equilibrium of a plasma and a magnetic field is determined through a plasma magnetization M with both local and nonlocal contributions. The equations of equilibrium are thus posed in soluble form, ∇ ×  H  = 0 and ∇· B  = 0 with B  =  H +4π M , possible previously only when pressures depended on |  B  | alone.
