Vortices in Magnetised Plasmas
Abstract
Electrostatic and electromagnetic models for plasma vortices are proposed. From the general description, the known simplified model equations can be (re)derived. The existence and stability of monopolar and dipolar vortex solutions are discussed. A method resulting in general criteria is proposed to study the dynamics of vortices under perturbations.
