Abstract:

It is demonstrated by three-dimensional simulations for resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) plasmas with both "spatially nonuniform resistivity eta" and "uniform eta" that the attractor of the dissipative structure in the resistive MHD plasmas is given by nabla x (eta j) = (alpha/2)B which is derived from a novel self-organization theory based on the minimum dissipation late profile. It is shown by the simulations that the attractor is reduced to nabla x B = lambda B in the special case with the "uniform eta" and no pressure gradient.
