Abstract Space plasmas can be described as conducting flows in a turbulent state, where
fluid motion is determined by a host of kinetic and magnetic coherent structures of different …

We present a 3D MHD simulation of two merging flux ropes exhibiting self-generated and
self-sustaining turbulent reconnection (SGTR) that is fully 3D and fast. The exploration of …

Nonlinear fluid modelling predictions of qualitatively new self-organized helical states in the
reversed-field pinch configuration are confirmed by experiments in the RFX-mod device. The …

The impact of an edge radial electric field on the particle orbits and the orbital spectrum in an
axisymmetric toroidal magnetic equilibrium is investigated using a guiding centre canonical …

Chirping Alfvén modes are considered as potentially harmful for the confinement of
energetic particles in burning tokamak plasmas. In fact, by changing their frequency, they …

Some internal transport barriers in tokamaks have been related to the vicinity of extrema of
the plasma equilibrium profiles. This effect is numerically investigated by considering the …

The concept of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) has been recently applied to complex
magnetic configurations in plasmas in order to find and characterize their main structural …

The quiet Sun exhibits a wealth of magnetic activities that are fundamental for our
understanding of solar magnetism. The magnetic fields in the quiet Sun are observed to …

A novel technique for detecting Lagrangian vortices is applied to a helical
magnetohydrodynamic dynamo simulation. The vortices are given by tubular level surfaces …

In this paper we study transport features of a one-dimensional beam–plasma system in the
presence of multiple resonances. As a model description of the general problem of a warm …
