Mathematical study of the equatorial Ekman boundary layer
Jean Rax
In this paper we study the well-posedness of a simple model of boundary layer for rotating fluids between two concentric spheres near the equator. We show that this model can be se…
ExB flows for high-throughput plasma mass separation
R. Gueroult, S. J. Zweben, N. J. Fisch +1
High-throughput plasma separation based on atomic mass holds the promise for offering unique solutions to a variety of high-impact societal applications. Through the mass different…
Nonlinear Ohmic Dissipation in Axisymmetric DC and RF Driven Rotating Plasmas
J. M. Rax, E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs +2
An axisymmetric fully ionized plasma rotates around its axis when a charge separation between magnetic surfaces is produced from DC fields or RF waves. On each magnetic surface bot…
Kinetic Theory of Transport Driven Current in Centrally fuelled Plasmas
J. M. Rax, J. Robiche, R. Gueroult +1
When a steady-state cylindrical plasma discharge is centrally fuelled, the collisionless radial electron flux is canonically coupled to an axial current. The identification and ana…
