The resistive evolution of force-free magnetic fields. Part 2. Relation to anisotropic diffusion
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
We consider the diffusion of a magnetic field in a stationary medium where the electrical conductivity along field lines (σ∥) differs from that across them (σ⊥), and by showing that in the limit σ⊥/σ∥ → 0 the fields remain force-free, some unusual features of force-free evolution are clarified.
