    The non-linear evolution of magnetic flux ropes: 3. effects of dissipation

    We study the evolution (expansion or oscillation) of cylindrically symmetric magnetic flux ropes when the energy dissipation is due to a drag force proportional to the product of the plasma density and the rad...

    The self-similar, non-linear evolution of rotating magnetic flux ropes

    We study, in the ideal MHD approximation, the non-linear evolution of cylindrical magnetic flux tubes differentially rotating about their symmetry axis. Our force balance consists of inertial terms, which incl...
