Topological Constraints in the Reconnection of Vortex Braids
Simon Candelaresi, Gunnar Hornig, Benjamin Podger +1
We study the relaxation of a topologically non-trivial vortex braid with zero net helicity in a barotropic fluid. The aim is to investigate the extent to which the topology of the…
Magnetic field relaxation and current sheets in an ideal plasma
Simon Candelaresi, David Pontin, Gunnar Hornig
We investigate the existence of magnetohydrostatic equilibria for topologically complex magnetic fields. The approach employed is to perform ideal numerical relaxation experiments.…
Mimetic Methods for Lagrangian Relaxation of Magnetic Fields
Simon Candelaresi, David Pontin, Gunnar Hornig
We present a new code that performs a relaxation of a magnetic field towards a force-free state (Beltrami field) using a Lagrangian numerical scheme. Beltrami fields are of interes…
Topological constraints in magnetic field relaxation
Simon Candelaresi
Stability and reconnection of magnetic fields play a fundamental role in natural and man-made plasma. In these applications the field's topology determines the stability of the mag…
Topological constraints on magnetic field relaxation
Simon Candelaresi, Axel Brandenburg
Magnetic field relaxation is determined by both the field's geometry and its topology. For relaxation processes, however, it turns out that its topology is a much more stringent co…
