Abstract:
We would compare mathematical models and computation results for plasma confinement in the magnetic traps, called “galatheyas”, and for evolution of the neutral current sheet near a magnetic zero line. The computer simulations of plasma, magnetic field and electric current configurations and their formation are based on some MHD problem solving. The ones of equilibrium configurations in the “Galatheya–Belt” trap and the current sheet use different dependence $p(\Psi)$ of the plasma pressure on the magnetic flux function in the boundary problems with the Grad–Shafranov equation. Time dependent models of configuration formation in the both setups differ by means of the electric current regime in the conductors, producing the magnetic field.
