Magnetic helicity of the Parker field

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1987
The topological properties of the interplanetary magnetic field are discussed based on a calculation of the magnetic helicity of the Parker field. The most striking feature of the helicity is that it is negative north of the heliospheric current sheet and positive south of the current sheet, regardless of the sign of the solar poloidal magnetic field ...

Helicity of the solar magnetic field [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010
AbstractHelicity measures complexity in the field. Magnetic helicity is given by a volume integral over the scalar product of magnetic field B and its vector potential A. A direct computation of magnetic helicity in the solar atmosphere is not possible due to unavailability of the observations at different heights and also due to non-uniqueness of A ...

Electric Currents along Astrophysical Jets

open access: yesGalaxies, 2017
Astrophysical black holes and their surrounding accretion disks are believed to be threaded by grand design helical magnetic fields. There is strong theoretical evidence that the main driver of their winds and jets is the Lorentz force generated by these

Magnetohydrodynamical Models of Helical Magnetic Fields in Spiral Arms [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1969
A circular arm with elliptical cross-section is used as a model of the spiral arm. It is demonstrated magnetohydrodynamically that interstellar gas may flow in a helical path along the axis of the arm and interstellar helical magnetic lines of force can spiral around it.

Inherent and Local Magnetic Field Structures in Jets from Active Galactic Nuclei

open access: yesGalaxies, 2021
In theoretical models for the electromagnetic launching of astrophysical jets, a helical magnetic (B)-field component is generated through the winding up of an initial longitudinal field component by the rotation of the cental black hole and accretion ...

Swimming Characteristics of Bioinspired Helical Microswimmers Based on Soft Lotus-Root Fibers

open access: yesMicromachines, 2017
Various kinds of helical swimmers inspired by E. coli bacteria have been developed continually in many types of researches, but most of them are proposed by the rigid bodies.

Magnetic field of complex helical conductors [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Electrical Engineering, 2013
Abstract Transmission of the electric power is accompanied with generation of low - frequency electromagnetic fields. Electromagnetic compatibility studies require that the fields from sources of electric power be well known. Unfortunately, many of these sources are not defined to the desired degree of accuracy. This applies e.g. to the case of the

Independent Control and Path Planning of Microswimmers with a Uniform Magnetic Field

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, 2022
Artificial bacteria flagella (ABFs) are magnetic helical microswimmers that can be remotely controlled via a uniform, rotating magnetic field. Previous studies have used the heterogeneous response of microswimmers to external magnetic fields for ...
