Corotating energy invariant of an axisymmetric magnetic wind

ID: corotating-energy-invariant-of-an-axisymmetric-magnetic-wind

For a pressure-free flowing poloidal flux surface, subtracting its angular velocity times the azimuthal momentum equation from the mechanical energy equation shows that is constant. It equals poloidal kinetic energy plus . This is the total magnetohydrodynamic Bernoulli invariant minus times the total magnetohydrodynamic angular-momentum invariant, not the total energy alone.
