The Magnetic Field

We investigate the nature of stationary structures streaming at subfast magnetosonic speeds perpendicular to the magnetic field in a bi-ion plasma consisting of protons and a heavy ion species in which the magnetic field is frozen into the electrons, whose inertia may be neglected. The study is based on the properties of the structure equation for the system, which is derived from the equations of motion and the Maxwell equations, and therefore reflects the coupling between the two ion fluids and the electrons through the Lorentz forces and charge neutrality. The basic features of the structure equation are elucidated by making use of conservation of total momentum and charge neutrality, which provide relations between the ion speeds in the unperturbed flow direction and the electron speed. This combination of relations, which we call the momentum hodograph of the system, reveals the structure of the flow and the magnetic field in a solitary-type pulse. In particular, we find that in the initial portion of a compressive soliton, heavy ions run ahead of the electrons and the protons lag between them until a point is reached where they all once more attain the same speed, after which the protons run ahead and are accelerated whereas the heavies now lag behind the continuously decelerating electrons. The second half of the wave is a mirror image of the first portion. The strength of the compression (the amplitude of the wave) is determined from the momentum hodograph, and depends upon the initial Mach number, abundance ratio of heavies to protons and the mass ratio. The analysis is relevant to subfast flows of mass-loaded plasmas and pile-up boundaries, which appear near comets and non-magnetic planets.

In a rarefied polyatomic gas streaming through a rectangular channel, an external magnetic field produces a heat flux perpendicular to the flow direction. Experiments on this “viscom agnetic heat flux” have been performed for CO, N2, CH4 and HD at room temperature, with different orientations of the magnetic field. Such measurements enable one to separate the boundary layer contribution from the purely bulk contribution by means of the theory recently developed by Vestner. Very good agreement is found between the experimentally determined bulk contribution and the theoretical Burnett value for CO, N2 and CH4 , yet the behavior of HD is found to be anomalous.

In this study, we propose a new way of optimising the formulation of ferrofluids for oil-spill clean-up processes, based on the rheological behaviour under extensional flow and magnetic fields. Different commercial ferrofluids (FFs), consisting of a set of six ferrofluids with different magnetic saturation and particle concentration, were characterised in a Capillary Break-Up Extensional Rheometer (CaBER) equipped with two magnetorheological cells that allow imposing a homogeneous and tunable magnetic field either parallel or perpendicular to the flow direction. The filament thinning process with different intensities and orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the flow direction was analysed, and the results showed that the perpendicular configuration did not have a significant effect on the behaviour of the ferrofluids, as in shear magnetorheometry. However, the parallel configuration allowed to determine that the formulation of ferrofluids for oil-spill cleaning processes should consist of a 4% vol concentration of magnetic nanoparticles with a magnetic saturation of M s > 20 mT.

The Magnetic Field

The energy loss rate, Ė, of test ions injected with velocity V into a Maxwellian electron-ion plasma in the presence of an external magnetic field, is studied. Most of the integrals appearing in the expression for Ė are evaluated analytically and the remaining integrals are evaluated numerically for various values of the parameters η = Ωe / ωe, x = V/ve, r = Te/Ti, and the angle of injection θ. It is shown that the effect of the magnetic field is rather small except for η > 1, the temperature ratio is important for small x (x ≤ 0·2), and the injection angle is not important.

The aim of the presented experiments is to study the transport of a heavy ion beam in a high-current plasma channel. The discharge is initiated in NH3 gas at pressures between 2 and 20 mbar by a line-tuned CO2 laser. A stable discharge over the entire electrode gap (0.5 m) was achieved for currents up to 60 kA. Concerning the ion beam transport, the magnetic field distribution inside the plasma channel has to be known. The ion-optical properties of the plasma channel have been investigated using different species of heavy ions (C, Ni, Au, U) with 11.4 MeV/u during six runs at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschungs-UNILAC linear accelerator. The high magnetic field allowed the accomplishment of one complete betatron oscillation along the discharge channel. The results obtained up to now are very promising and suggest that, by scaling the discharge gap to longer distances, the beam transport over several meters is possible with negligible losses.

The stability of anisotropic plasmas to the magnetosonic (or right-hand compressional Alfvén) wave, near the ion cyclotron frequency, propagating almost perpendicular to the magnetic field, is investigated. For this case, and for wavelengths larger than the ion Larmor radius and for large ion plasma frequency (w2p+ ≫ Ωp+) the dispersion relation is obtained in a simple form. It is shown that for T # T' (even T ≫ T) no instabifity occurs. The resonant ters are also included, and it is shown that there is no resonant instabifity, only damping.

Effect Of Surface

A uniformly-streaming compressible and infinitely-conducting plasma is confined by a magnetic field aligned with the stream. The system is disturbed by introducing magnetic dipoles into the field. A Fourier-transform method is used to determine the displacement of the interface between the streaming plasma and the magnetic field within the framework of a ‘shallow-water’ approximation. For the case of a subsonic plasma stream, stationary waves appear on the interface upstream of the dipoles, and it is found that (i) these stationary waves are possible only if the gravity effects on the plasma are weak enough; (ii) the effect of surface tension at the interface is to reduce the amplitude and increase the wavelength of these waves. For the case of a supersonic plasma stream, however, stationary waves at the interface are not possible.

AbstractWe show that an event-shape engineering based on the mean transverse momentum of charged hadrons, $$[p_t]$$ [ p t ] , provides an optimal handle on the strength of the magnetic field created in central heavy-ion collisions at high energy. This is established through quantitative evaluations of the correlation existing between the event-by-event magnetic field produced by the spectator protons in 5.02 TeV Pb + Pb collisions and the event-by-event $$[p_t]$$ [ p t ] at a given collision centrality. We argue that the event selection based on $$[p_t]$$ [ p t ] provides a better handle on the magnetic field than the more traditional selection based on the event ellipticities. Advantages brought by this new method for the experimental search of the chiral magnetic effect are discussed.

The Magnetic Field

We have studied the influences of the magnetic field, shear rate, and random forces on transport coefficients such as viscosity and diffusion coefficient, and also on the orientational distributions of hematite particles composed of a dilute colloidal dispersion. Hematite particles are modeled as spheroids with a magnetic moment normal to the particle axis. In the present analysis, these particles are assumed to conduct the rotational Brownian motion in a simple shear flow as well as an external magnetic field. The basic equation of the orientational distribution function has been derived from the balance of the torques and solved by the numerical analysis method. The results obtained here are summarized as follows. With increasing the magnetic field, since the magnetic moment is strongly restricted to the magnetic field direction, the motion of the particle is forced to rotate in directions normal to the shear flow direction. In the case of a strong magnetic field and a smaller shear rate, the rodlike particles can freely rotate in the xy-plane with the magnetic moment remaining pointing to the magnetic field direction. On the other hand, for a strong shear flow, the particle has a tendency to incline in the flow direction with the magnetic moment pointing to the magnetic field direction. Additionaly, the diffusion coefficient gives rise to smaller values than expected, since the rodlike particle sediments with the particle inclining toward directions normal to the moment direction.

In this paper, the unsteady flow of a dusty viscous incompressible electrically conducting non-Newtonian power-law fluid through a circular pipe is investigated. A constant pressure gradient in the axial direction and a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the flow direction are applied. The particle phase is assumed to behave as a viscous fluid. A numerical solution is obtained for the governing nonlinear momentum equations using finite differences. The effects of the magnetic-field parameter Ha, the non-Newtonian fluid characteristics (the flow index n), and the particle-phase viscosity β on the transient behavior of the velocity, volumetric flow rates, and skin friction coefficients of both fluid and particle phases are studied. It is found that all the flow parameters for both phases decrease as the magnetic field increases or the flow index decreases. On the other hand, increasing the particle-phase viscosity increases the skin friction of the particle phase, but decreases the other flow parameters. PACS No.: 47.50.+d

We present measurements of the magnetic field dependent microwave dissipation in a heavy-ion irradiated thin YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ film, in order to study the effects of columnar defects on the pinning of vortices. Columnar defects were produced at 45° with respect to the c axis. Measurements of the microwave dissipation at 48 GHz were taken as a function of the angle between the field and the c axis, in order to compare the response along and perpendicular to the columns. The field was in the 0.3 T range. Several temperatures near the liquid nitrogen temperature were investigated. We find a dip in the dissipation when the field is aligned to the tracks. The dip is absent when the field is aligned perpendicular to the tracks, and with the same angle with respect to the crystallographic directions. The dip is not very sharp, and shows up for angles as far as 30° from the track directions. From the measurements, we estimate the pinning frequency along the columns at 80 K to be νpc ≃ 25 GHz .
