Jovian vortices and jets
Glenn R. Flierl, Philip J. Morrison, Rohith Vilasur Swaminathan
We explore the conditions required for isolated vortices to exist in sheared zonal flows and the stability of the underlying zonal winds. This is done using the standard 2-layer qu…
Hamiltonian Nature of Monopole Dynamics
J. M. Heninger, P. J. Morrison
Classical electromagnetism with magnetic monopoles is not a Hamiltonian field theory because the Jacobi identity for the Poisson bracket fails. The Jacobi identity is recovered onl…
Certain developments on the equilibrium of magnetized plasmas
A. Evangelias, D. A. Kaltsas, A. Kuiroukidis +3
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 f…
Metriplectic torque for rotation control of a rigid body
Massimo Materassi, Philip J. Morrison
Metriplectic dynamics couple a Poisson bracket of the Hamiltonian description with a kind of metric bracket, for describing systems with both Hamiltonian and dissipative components…
An integral transform technique for kinetic systems with collisions
Jeffrey M. Heninger, Philip J. Morrison
The linearized Vlasov-Poisson system can be exactly solved using the -transform, an integral transform introduced in Refs. 1-3 that removes the electric field term, leaving a si…
Direction of cascades in a magnetofluid model with electron skin depth and ion sound Larmor radius scales
George Miloshevich, Philip J. Morrison, Emanuele Tassi
The direction of cascades in a two-dimensional model that takes electron inertia and ion sound Larmor radius into account is studied, resulting in analytical expressions for the ab…
