A special exact class of three-dimensional equilibria of a magnetized plasma exhibiting closed and nested toroidal magnetic surfaces
D. A. Kaltsas, A. I. Kuiroukidis, G. N. Throumoulopoulos
We construct a special class of three-dimensional (3D) equilibria with pressure anisotropy which showcase closed, nested toroidal magnetic surfaces that are strongly asymmetric in…

Hybrid fluid-kinetic cylindrical equilibria with axial background magnetic field
D. A. Kaltsas, A. I. Kuiroukidis, G. N. Throumoulopoulos
Self-consistent, one-dimensional quasineutral screw-pinch equilibria are constructed within a hybrid model that couples fluid electrons with kinetic ions governed by the Vlasov equ…

New axisymmetric equilibria with flow from an expansion about the generalized Solov'ev solution
A. I. Kuiroukidis, D. A. Kaltsas, G. N. Throumoulopoulos
We construct analytic solutions to the generalized Grad-Shafranov equation, which incorporates both toroidal and poloidal flows. This is achieved by adopting a general linearizing…
