Weakly nonlinear dynamics in noncanonical Hamiltonian systems with applications to fluids and plasmas
P. J. Morrison, J. Vanneste
A method, called beatification, is presented for rapidly extracting weakly nonlinear Hamiltonian systems that describe the dynamics near equilibria for systems possessing Hamiltoni…
A method for Hamiltonian truncation: A four-wave example
Thiago F. Viscondi, Iberê L. Caldas, Philip J. Morrison
A method for extracting finite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems from a class of 2+1 Hamiltonian mean field theories is presented. These theories possess noncanonical Poisson bracket…
Remarkable connections between extended magnetohydrodynamics models
M. Lingam, P. J. Morrison, G. Miloshevich
Through the use of suitable variable transformations, the commonality of all extended magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) models is established. Remarkable correspondences between the Poiss…
Explosive magnetic reconnection caused by an X-shaped current-vortex layer in a collisionless plasma
Makoto Hirota, Yuji Hattori, Philip J. Morrison
A mechanism for explosive magnetic reconnection is investigated by analyzing the nonlinear evolution of a collisionless tearing mode in a two-fluid model that includes the effects…
Theory and applications of the Vlasov equation
F. Pegoraro, F. Califano, G. Manfredi +1
Forty articles have been recently published in EPJD as contributions to the topical issue "Theory and applications of the Vlasov equation". The aim of this topical issue was to pro…
An Action Principle for Relativistic MHD
Eric D'Avignon, Philip Morrison, Francesco Pegoraro
A covariant action principle for ideal relativistic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in terms of natural Eulerian field variables is given. This is done by generalizing the covariant Poi…
