On measuring divergence for magnetic field modeling
S. A. Gilchrist, K. D. Leka, G. Barnes +2
A physical magnetic field has a divergence of zero. Numerical error in constructing a model field and computing the divergence, however, introduces a finite divergence into these c…

Relative Magnetic Helicity Based on a Periodic Potential Field
Kai E. Yang, Michael S. Wheatland, Stuart A. Gilchrist
Magnetic helicity is conserved under ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and quasi-conserved even under a resistive process. The standard definition for magnetic helicity cannot be ap…
