Abstract:
In this talk, we investigate double Beltrami states in the Hall magneto-hydrodynamic (Hall MHD) equations. Initially, we examine the double Beltrami states as a special class of steady solutions to the ideal Hall MHD equations, which are closely related to Beltrami flows in incompressible fluid dynamics. Specifically, we classify the double Beltrami states and show that they can be derived by using the variational method as energy minimizers, subject to the conservation of two helicities. We then extend our analysis to time-dependent double Beltrami states in the viscous and resistive Hall MHD equations, exploring their exact form and stability properties.
