Material advection of an axisymmetric magnetic flux function
ID: material-advection-of-an-axisymmetric-magnetic-flux-function
For an axisymmetric poloidal magnetic field , the ideal magnetohydrodynamic induction equation gives , after fixing the time-dependent additive constant in . A regular axial reference makes the enclosed magnetic flux. This scalar statement of magnetic flux freezing holds even when rotation also produces a toroidal magnetic field.
