Maxwell torque conservation in an axisymmetric wind (${\mathbf{F}}_J=\rho {\mathbf{u}}_{p}s{u}_{\varphi }-{\mu }_0^{-1}{\mathbf{B}}_{p}s{B}_{\varphi }$)

In a steady axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic wind, axisymmetric pressure and Newtonian gravity exert no azimuthal torque. The azimuthal momentum equation is $\rho {\mathbf{u}}_p\cdot \nabla (s{u}_{\varphi })={\mu }_0^{-1}{\mathbf{B}}_p\cdot \nabla (s{B}_{\varphi })$. Mass conservation and the solenoidal vector field condition imply $\nabla \cdot {\mathbf{F}}_J=0$. With magnetohydrodynamic mass loading $\rho {\mathbf{u}}_p=\kappa {\mathbf{B}}_p$, the transported angular momentum per unit poloidal magnetic flux is $\ell =\kappa s{u}_{\varphi }-s{B}_{\varphi }/{\mu }_0$. It is constant on connected regular poloidal flux surfaces. The usual specific magnetohydrodynamic angular-momentum invariant is $L=\ell /\kappa$, provided $\kappa \ne 0$; confusing these two normalizations loses a factor of mass loading in the wind torque.
