The resistive evolution of force-free magnetic fields. Part 3. Cylindrical geometry
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
Equations describing the resistive evolution of a cylindrically symmetric magnetic field through force-free states enable us to study its response to externally applied electric fields. The process is relaxational, and, under certain conditions, the final state is a reversed field configuration. We show, moreover, that the non-standard nature of the equations leads to a non-trivial (adiabatic) evolution in the case of vanishing resistivity.
