Linear Force-free (or Beltrami) fields are three-components divergence-free fields solutions of the equation curlB = α B, where α is a real number.Such fields appear in many branches of physics like astrophysics, fluid mechanics, electromagnetics and plasma physics. In this paper,we deal with some related boundary value problems in multiply-connected bounded domains, in half-cylindrical domains and in exterior domains.

We present a selection of results from a large set of numerical simulations of the spin-down of a solar-type star containing a large scale magnetic field in its radiative interior. Our computations are dynamical, in that they take into account both the generation of the toroidal component by the wind-induced shear endits back-reaction on the azimuthal flow. Our results demonstrate the existence of classes of internal magnetic fields that can accomodate rapid spin-down near the ZAMS, and yield weak internal differential rotation by the solar age.
