The local and global fluid magnetohydrodynamic stability properties of anisotropic pressure plasmas are investigated with the Kruskal-Oberman and rigid hot particle Johnson et al energy principles. A Heliotron configuration that models the Large Helical De ...
A Hamiltonian formulation of the relativistic guiding center drifts is extended to anisotropic pressure plasmas. The magnetic coordinates devised by Boozer are adapted to the anisotropic pressure model and retain canonical properties for two-dimensional an ...
