Magnetohydrodynamic Equilibrium

Magnetohydrodynamic Equilibrium is a state in plasma physics wherein the Lorentz force exerted by a magnetic field is exactly balanced by the plasma pressure gradient, resulting in a time-invariant configuration of the conducting fluid under the coupled influence of magnetic and hydrodynamic forces.
