Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Plasma flow and acceleration in the converging-diverging magnetic field configuration, such as magnetic nozzle in electric propulsion and open magnetic mirrors for fusion applications are considered. This work analyses plasma acceleration in the magnetic nozzle with an emphasis on the electromagnetic effects and centrifugal forces due to plasma rotation. Intrinsic coupling of the azimuthal rotation and azimuthal magnetic field is analyzed, and additional plasma acceleration due to the conversion of the energy of the azimuthal magnetic field and azimuthal rotation is demonstrated. For large expansion in the diverging magnetic field plasma flow velocities may approach and exceed the Alfvén velocity. In these regimes, stationary solutions for the transonic and trans-Alfvénic flows have been obtained that demonstrate the existence of the unique regular solution passing through all critical points within the MHD theory, i.e., the points where the plasma flow is equal to the signal velocities of the MHD modes: slow and fast magnetohydrodynamic waves and Alfvén wave. The time-dependent initial value simulations show that stationary equilibrium flows are robust and stable, so that time-dependent solutions converge toward stationary solutions.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
