Numerical study of the partitioning of magnetic field energy and plasma energy during the penetration of the magnetic field into the plasma

Abstract. We investigate a series of six TCRs (traveling compression regions), appearing in the course of a small substorm on 19 September 2001. Except for two of these TCRs, all Cluster spacecraft were located in the lobe and detected the typical signatures of TCRs, i.e., compressions in |B| and bipolar Bz variations. We use these perturbations in Bz for calculations on the magnetic energy inside the TCR and compare the amount of magnetic field energy with the kinetic energy inside the underlying plasma bulge. According to results obtained from theory, the amount of magnetic energy inside TCRs is about two times higher than the kinetic plasma energy inside the accompanied plasma bulge. We verify this theoretical result by first investigations of the magnetic field energy inside TCRs. The calculations lead to a magnetic energy in the order of 1010 Joule per RE for each of the TCRs.

The Magnetic Field

Based on our previous work, we deduce a general formula for pressure of degenerate and relativistic electrons, Pe, which is suitable for superhigh magnetic fields, discuss the quantization of Landau levels of electrons, and consider the quantum electrodynamic (QED) effects on the equations of states (EOSs) for different matter systems. The main conclusions are as follows: Pe is related to the magnetic field B, matter density ρ, and electron fraction Ye; the stronger the magnetic field, the higher the electron pressure becomes; the high electron pressure could be caused by high Fermi energy of electrons in a superhigh magnetic field; compared with a common radio pulsar, a magnetar could be a more compact oblate spheroid-like deformed neutron star (NS) due to the anisotropic total pressure; and an increase in the maximum mass of a magnetar is expected because of the positive contribution of the magnetic field energy to the EOS of the star.

A Current

We previously reported new superconductivity produced by an electrostatic field and a diffusion current in a semiconductor without refrigeration. In particular, the superconductivity was investigated theoretically and confirmed experimentally. Here, we determine that the derived superconducting quantum state can be reproduced in a capacitor. When circuits are formed with this new-type capacitor and diodes, a magnetic field is applied to the diodes’ depletion layer. The depletion layer is biased because of the conversion from the magnetic-field energy to electric-field energy, resulting in the diodes’ spontaneously emitting a current. Thus, the new-type capacitor is charged using no other energy source. This new phenomenon is described theoretically with assistance of initial experiments.

The Magnetic Field

Velocities of electrons, ions and neutrals are computed in the three-fluid approximation for an axisymmetrical magnetic field. By prescribing a radial dependence of the velocity of neutrals in agreement with a downflow, the radial dependence of the magnetic field energy density is derived for a given set of values of the magnetic field at the central and external boundaries. Flux-tube cooling by advection of ionization energy is found to be significant. Vortices in the low photosphere could produce significant electric power and DC current intensity along the coronal magnetic lines of forces. The velocities of neutrals, the size and the number of flux-tubes required to power flares in plage regions, are estimated.

High-frequency electronic descaling devices are physical water treatment methods that use a high-frequency electromagnetic field to prevent and remove scale. The effectiveness of the method is verified by monitoring the growth of scale on the surface of heat exchange tubes. The microstructure of scale obtained from experiments is analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the action characteristics of high-frequency electromagnetic fields on water are explored by observing the change of solution contact angle at different times. The experimental results show that the high-frequency electromagnetic field can slow down the scaling growth on the surface of heat exchange tubes by changing the morphology of scaling substances and the physicochemical properties of water. The cavity of the instrument is modeled and simulated by ANSYS Maxwell, and the three operating parameters, waveform, voltage and frequency, are changed respectively. The performance parameters of the cavity, such as magnetic field energy, electric field energy and magnetic flux, are calculated and compared, and then the more suitable operating parameters are selected to improve the performance of the instrument. The simulation results show that the high-frequency electromagnetic field generated by the anode rod in the axial position can be overlooked compared with the magnetic field energy. Square wave excitation produces greater magnetic field energy than using sine wave excitation, and as the voltage increases, the peak value of the magnetic field energy continues to rise and increases faster. With an increase in the frequency, the peak value of the magnetic field energy and magnetic flux peak will maintain a slight decrease over a certain frequency range. After this frequency range, the peak value of magnetic field energy and magnetic flux peak will decrease rapidly. This decrease is due to the relaxation caused by the change of the waveform direction. The influence of time and an increase in the frequency will significantly increase the influence of the relaxation time.

AbstractThe flow of e+e− plasma ejected by an axisymmetrically rotating magnetized neutron star is considered in a hydrodynamical approximation. It is shown that in the vicinity of the light cylinder a helical discontinuity is formed. The transformation of toroidal magnetic field energy into plasma energy takes place at this discontinuity. Particles are accelerated to an energy of 10TeV for a neutron star with the characteristics of the Crab pulsar.

Normal Magnetic Field

<p>Magnetic reconnection converts the magnetic field energy into thermal and kinetic energies of the plasma. This process usually happens at extremely fast speed and is therefore believed to be a fundamental mechanism to explain various explosive phenomena such as coronal mass ejections and planetary magnetospheric storms. How magnetic reconnection is triggered from the large magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) scales remains an open question, with some theoretical and numerical studies showing the tearing instability to be involved. Observations in the Earth&#8217;s magnetotail and near the magnetopause show that a finite normal magnetic field is usually present inside the reconnecting current sheet. Besides, such a normal field may also exist in the solar corona. However, how this normal magnetic field modifies the tearing instability is not thoroughly studied. Here we discuss the linear tearing instability inside a two-dimensional current sheet with a normal component of magnetic field where the magnetic tension force is balanced by ion flows parallel and anti-parallel to the magnetic field. We solve the dispersion relation of the tearing mode with wave vector parallel to the reconnecting magnetic field. Our results confirm that the finite normal magnetic field stabilizes the tearing mode and makes the mode oscillatory instead of purely growing.</p>
