Struphy equilibrium

HomogenSlab

Homogeneous MHD equilibrium.
← All equilibria

Governing formula

\mathbf B &= B_{0x}\,\mathbf e_x + B_{0y}\,\mathbf e_y + B_{0z}\,\mathbf e_z = const.\,, p &= \beta \frac{|\mathbf B|^2}{2}=const.\,, n &= n_0 = const.\,.

Units are those defned in the parameter file (through `struphy.io.options.BaseUnits`).

Coordinate slices

Pressure and density sampled from the generated equilibrium data. Heatmaps use the perceptually uniform Viridis palette.
