However, there appears to be a small deviation during the solar maximum of cycle 22, which is likely related to high pressure of solar
wind plasma flow velocity.
This may be related to the
high plasma flow pressure during years 1991 and 1992.
Cross section of a tokamak plasma with red and blue colors showing direction and structure
of plasma flow.
The result closely matched observations of
how plasma flows from a sunspot's central dark region into the surrounding turbulent zone, according to lead researcher Matthias Rempel.
«But our data still seem to show that the quark - gluon
plasma flows like a superhot liquid.»
However, detailed images of the sun's uppermost layers showed
plasma flowing from the centers of sunspots toward their edges, making scientists question why the mutually repellent magnetic fields didn't fly apart as well.
The group of researchers including scientists from Aalto University and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) in Germany hopes to pinpoint the important role played by
turbulent plasma flows within the Sun.
Rats fed on alternate days showed preserved kidney function as demonstrated by preserved glomerular filtration rate and
renal plasma flow, compared to rats fed ad libitum (56).
IRIS can resolve solar features only 150 miles in size, has a temporal resolution of a few seconds, and has a spectral resolution capable of
measuring plasma flows of a few miles per second.
Plasma flows inward beneath the sun's surface (arrows in light blue regions) to confine the intense magnetic fields of sunspots within a cool shallow layer (dark blue).
«How donut - shaped fusion plasmas managed to decrease adverse turbulence: Achieving fusion has become more realistic
since plasma flow was identified as regulating turbulence in the 1980s.»
Astronomers have been able to forecast trends in the number of sunspots since the 1800s, but predicting individual spots requires satellites that can probe the turbulent
plasma flows deep beneath the sun's surface.
The researchers found that the interaction of the two plasmas sharply collimates the
iron plasma flow.
Twisting plasma flows beneath the sun's surface provide a way to predict potentially dangerous solar outbursts
Such
non-uniform plasma flows have been known to play favorable roles in fusion plasmas in conventional and spherical tokamaks.
To perform this spectacular astrophysics experiment, they made use of the powerful Orion Laser Facility at Aldermaston (UK) to evaporate a millimetre size target and produce a
hot plasma flow during an extremely short duration (less than 100 nanoseconds).
Plasma flow control is still in an early research and development stage but shows potential for use in ultra-performance cars.
Magnetic fields stretched by
plasma flows, resulting in an increase in the field component along the plasma flow, can be frequently observed in space.
Researchers from Tohoku University have been trying to find out how
the plasma flow is influenced by its environment via laboratory experiments.
To overcome this problem, so that the plasma can be detached from the MN, a scenario in which the magnetic field lines are stretched to infinity by
the plasma flow was proposed.
This result might imply that
the plasma flow can direct the magnetic field into space while maintaining the thrust generation by the MN.
Although the stretch of the magnetic field has been thought to occur when
the plasma flow reaches a specific velocity called the Alfven velocity, the experiment shows that it actually occurs at a slower velocity than expected.
Physical picture of the applied magnetic field lines (blue lines) and the magnetic field lines (red lines) modified by
the plasma flow, i.e., sum of the applied and plasma - induced magnetic fields.
Indeed, they found that the spatial variation of
the plasma flow regulates the turbulence of the drift - wave type.
Over the course of the past 30 to 40 years, they came to realise that turbulence and
plasma flow are linked and regulate each other.
The long fibers seen here represent the concentration of electrons in
the plasma flowing through the chamber, with red and orange showing higher - density regions.
Some of the field is provided by a complex network of superconducting magnets, the rest by
the plasma itself flowing around the ring like an electric current.

The plasma flows through a handheld, pen - sized instrument and exits as a high - speed jet.
