Nonlinear force-free configurations in cylindrical geometry
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 April 2020
Abstract
We find a new family of solutions for force-free magnetic structures in cylindrical geometry. These solutions have radial power-law dependence and are periodic but non-harmonic in the azimuthal direction; they generalize the vacuum $z$-independent potential fields to current-carrying configurations.
