Extra Invariant in Magnetohydrodynamics of Planets and Stars
Alexander M. Balk
The paper establishes extra invariant in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) of rotating and stratified fluid layer. This invariant is conserved adiabatically, i.e. approximately over long…
Anisotropy of ocean surface wave turbulence
Alexander M Balk
The paper continues to study the long-standing problem of quasi 1-D (one dimensional) spectrum of sea surface wave turbulence. The study is based on Hasselmann's kinetic equation,…
Extra invariant and plasma inhomogeneity to improve zonal flow
Alexander Balk
Zonal flows are known to diminish turbulent transport in magnetic fusion. Interstingly, there is an adiabatic invariant that implies the emergence of zonal flow. The paper shows th…
Analytic regimes of tokamak plasma
Alexander M. Balk
The paper suggests certain regimes of fusion plasma with magnetic confinement, when the Larmor radius and the angle (determining the orientation of the local coordinates) f…
Dynamo and the Adiabatic Invariant
Alexander M. Balk
The paper considers dynamo generated by a shallow fluid layer in a celestial body (planet or star). This dynamo is based on the extra invariant for interacting magnetic Rossby wave…
A way to generate poloidal (zonal) flow in the dynamics of drift (Rossby) waves
Alexander M. Balk
The paper considers dynamics in the Charney-Hasegawa-Mima equation, basic to several different phenomena. In each of them, the generation of poloidal/zonal flow is important. The p…
