The Magnetic Field

Laser-produced plasma cloud evolution in a magnetic field is investigated up to 3 kg using photographs and spectroheliograms. Generation of a plasma jet, oriented across the magnetic field, was detected, whose emission increases with the field strength and is more distinct for multicharged ions. The effects of the field on the interaction of closely located laser-produced plasma clouds were studied as well. The results of numerical analysis comply with experimental data on plasma behavior in the magnetic field.

Plasma Profile

We discuss a stochastic model for the behavior of electrons in a magnetically confined plasma having axial symmetry. The aim of the work is to provide an explanation for the density limit observed in the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) machine. The dynamical framework deals with an electron embedded in a stationary and uniform magnetic field and affected by an orthogonal random electric field. The behavior of the average plasma profile is determined by the appropriate Fokker–Planck equation associated to the considered model and the disruptive effects of the stochastic electric field are shown. The comparison between the addressed model and the experimental data allows to fix the relevant spatial scale of such a stochastic field. It is found to be of the order of the Tokamak micro-physics scale, i.e. few millimeters. Moreover, it is clarified how the diffusion process outlines a dependence on the magnetic field as [Formula: see text].

ABSTRACT The large temperature difference between cold gas clouds around galaxies and the hot haloes that they are moving through suggests that thermal conduction could play an important role in the circumgalactic medium. However, thermal conduction in the presence of a magnetic field is highly anisotropic, being strongly suppressed in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. This is commonly modelled by using a simple prescription that assumes that thermal conduction is isotropic at a certain efficiency f < 1, but its precise value is largely unconstrained. We investigate the efficiency of thermal conduction by comparing the evolution of 3D hydrodynamical (HD) simulations of cold clouds moving through a hot medium, using artificially suppressed isotropic thermal conduction (with f), against 3D magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations with (true) anisotropic thermal conduction. Our main diagnostic is the time evolution of the amount of cold gas in conditions representative of the lower (close to the disc) circumgalactic medium of a Milky-Way-like galaxy. We find that in almost every HD and MHD run, the amount of cold gas increases with time, indicating that hot gas condensation is an important phenomenon that can contribute to gas accretion on to galaxies. For the most realistic orientations of the magnetic field with respect to the cloud motion we find that f is in the range 0.03–0.15. Thermal conduction is thus always highly suppressed, but its effect on the cloud evolution is generally not negligible.

The stability of viscous flow between two coaxial cylinders maintained by a constant transverse pressure gradient is considered when the fluid is an electrical conductor and a uniform magnetic field is impressed in the axial direction. The problem is solved and the dependence of the critical number for the onset of instability on the strength of the magnetic field and the coefficient of electrical conductivity of the fluid is determined.

The Magnetic Field

The relativistic wave equation for spin-1/2 particles in the interior Schwarzschild solution in the presence of a uniform magnetic field is obtained. The fully relativistic regime is considered, and the energy levels occupied by the particles are derived as functions of the magnetic field, the radius of the massive sphere and the total mass of the latter. As no assumption is made on the relative strengths of the particles’ interaction with the gravitational and magnetic fields, the relevance of our results to the physics of the interior of neutron stars, where both the gravitational and the magnetic fields are very intense, is discussed.

Planar Target

Our recent experimental results demonstrate that the formation of plasma jets is a fundamental process accompanying the laser produced plasma expansion, if a massive planar target with relatively high atomic number is irradiated by a defocused laser beam. In this paper some new results on the influence of target irradiation conditions on plasma jet parameters are presented. The experiment was carried out at the PALS iodine laser facility, with the third harmonic beam of the pulse duration of 250 ps (FWHM). The beam energies varied in the range of 13–160 J, the focal spot radii in the range of 35–600 µm. The planar massive targets used in the experiment were made of Cu, Ag and Ta. For measurements of the electron density evolution a three frame interferometric system was employed. The jets were observed in the whole range of the laser energy used. The initial velocities of the plasma jets produced in the reported experiment reached the value of up to 7·107 cm/s, the jets were up to 4 mm long including the jet pedestal and about 400 µm in diameter. Calculations of the efficiency of the plasma jet production show that it decreases with increasing the laser energy.

The Magnetic Field

Small steady-state deformational oscillations of a drop of magnetic liquid in a nonstationary uniform magnetic field are theoretically investigated. The drop is suspended in another magnetic liquid immiscible with the former. The Reynolds number is so small that the inertia can be neglected. The variation of the magnetic field is so slow that the quasi-stationary approximation for the magnetic field and the quasi-steady approximation for the flow may be used.

Abstract A 2D numerical investigation has been carried out to obtain the heat transfer performance of hybrid (Al2O3 + Ag) nanofluid in a lid driven cavity over solid block under the influence of uniform as well as non-uniform magnetic field. The geometrical domain consists of a cavity containing nanofluid that is driven by means of lid moving in one direction. This circulating nanofluid will extract enormous amount of heat from the solid block underneath the cavity resulting in conjugate heat transfer. A homogenous solver based on the finite volume method with conjugate heat transfer was developed and adopted in the existing study. The heat efficient hybrid nanofluid (HyNF) pair (2.4 vol.% Ag + 0.6 vol.% Al2O3) obtained by Nimmagadda and Venkatasubbaiah [1] is used in the present investigation. Moreover, efficient non-uniform sinusoidal magnetic field identified by Nimmagadda et al. [2] is also implemented and compared with uniform magnetic field. Furthermore, the magnetic field is applied over the geometrical domain along the two axial directions separately and the effective heat transfer performance is obtained. The significant impact of extensive parameters like Reynolds number, nanoparticle type, nanoparticle concentration, magnetic field type, magnetic field location and the strength of the magnetic field on heat transfer performance are systematically analyzed and presented.
