An equation describing the evolution of 2-D inhomogeneous magnetized plasma has been derived. In the cold ion case. it is merely a Euler equation or convective cell equation. There is a solitary flute vortex solution to it. Moreover. the structure of the solution is similar to that of the obiique vortex solution obtained by MAKIO et al. (1981) and MESS and HORTOS (1982. 1983i. but its properties differ from the latter in several aspects. There is no restriction on the speed of the vortex and it can propagate in an) direction in a plane with magnetic field B as it is normal. although the effect of a warm ion makes the vortices propagate anisotropically in the plane. The plasma appears to be adhered to vortices and mavins along with them. This means that the existence of flute vortices could be connected with conkection of particles and energy of plasma across magnetic surfaces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
