Equilibrium conditions

ρ1, p1, T1 ρ0, p0, T0 ρ2, p2, T2

Uniform magnetic field in the slab. Field-free plasma outside. Different density and pressure on each side.

Governing equations

Ideal MHD equations: Conservation of: ρD✈ Dt = −∇p − 1 µ❇ × (∇ × ❇), momentum ∂ρ ∂t + ∇ · (ρ✈) = 0, mass D Dt p ργ

  • = 0,

energy ∂❇ ∂t = ∇ × (✈ × ❇), magnetic flux

✈ = plasma velocity, ❇ = magnetic field strength, ρ = density, p = pressure, µ = magnetic permeability, γ = adiabatic index.
