Stability with respect to ballooning modes in arbitrary, three-dimensional, ideal MHD equilibria with shear is studied. The destabilizing perturbations considered here have finite gradients along the field and are localized around a closed magnetic field line, the localization being weaker on the surface than transversally to it. This kind of localization allows the problem of stability to be reduced to the solution of a one-dimensional eigenvalue problem.

AbstractMagnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities allow energy to be released from stressed magnetic fields, commonly modelled in cylindrical flux tubes linking parallel planes, but, more recently, also in curved arcades containing flux tubes with both footpoints in the same photospheric plane. Uncurved cylindrical flux tubes containing multiple individual threads have been shown to be capable of sustaining an MHD avalanche, whereby a single unstable thread can destabilise many. We examine the properties of multi-threaded coronal loops, wherein each thread is created by photospheric driving in a realistic, curved coronal arcade structure (with both footpoints of each thread in the same plane). We use three-dimensional MHD simulations to study the evolution of single- and multi-threaded coronal loops, which become unstable and reconnect, while varying the driving velocity of individual threads. Experiments containing a single thread destabilise in a manner indicative of an ideal MHD instability and consistent with previous examples in the literature. The introduction of additional threads modifies this picture, with aspects of the model geometry and relative driving speeds of individual threads affecting the ability of any thread to destabilise others. In both single- and multi-threaded cases, continuous driving of the remnants of disrupted threads produces secondary, aperiodic bursts of energetic release.

We investigate the steady compressible flows in three-dimensional exterior domains, in R3 and [Formula: see text], under the action of small perturbations of large potential forces and zero velocity at infinity. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions in L2-spaces, and study their regularity as well as the decay at infinity.
