The variational formulation of the axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium equations with plasma flows is addressed and a more comprehensive method is presented that allows, in particular, for open boundary conditions and discontinuous shock solutions.

Abstract
The variational formulation of the axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium equations with plasma flows is addressed and a more comprehensive method is presented that allows, in particular, for open boundary conditions and discontinuous shock solutions. A numerical procedure based on the variational formulation is described and a validation test for an open conical geometry, including also hydrodynamic shocks, is investigated.File in questo prodotto:
