Braided magnetic fields: equilibria, relaxation and heating
D. I. Pontin, S. Candelaresi, A. J. B. Russell +1
We examine the dynamics of magnetic flux tubes containing non-trivial field line braiding (or linkage), using mathematical and computational modelling, in the context of testable p…

Self-organizing Knotted Magnetic Structures in Plasma
C. B. Smiet, S. Candelaresi, A. Thompson +3
We perform full-MHD simulations on various initially helical configurations and show that they reconfigure into a state where the magnetic field lines span nested toroidal surfaces…
