Description

An equation for stationary MHD equilibrium with azimuthal rotation in spherical coordinates is derived. Following a procedure introduced by Maschke and Perrin, by supposing that the plasma temperature is a surface quantity, we describe a two-parameter family of axisymmetric toroidal configurations. The equilibrium equation is analytically solved for given hypotheses in such a way as to investigate the effect of plasma rotation on the magnetic field structure. (Author)
