For a pressure-free flowing poloidal flux surface, subtracting its angular velocity times the azimuthal momentum equation from the mechanical energy equation shows that ϵJ​ is constant. It equals poloidal kinetic energy plus (uϕ​−Rω)2/2+Φ−R2ω2/2. This is the total magnetohydrodynamic Bernoulli invariant minus ω times the total magnetohydrodynamic angular-momentum invariant, not the total energy alone.
