摘要
We extend previous work by two of the authors [Evangelias and Throumoulopoulos 2016 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 58 045022] and find analytic solutions to a generalized Grad-Shafranov equation (GGSE) with pressure anisotropy, hollow toroidal current density and incompressible flow of arbitrary direction. By specifying the surface-function terms involved in the GGSE as quadratic functions of the poloidal magnetic flux function, we derive analytic tokamak pertinent equilibria. It turns out that, irrespective of the shape of the toroidal current density profile, which is noticeably affected by the pressure anisotropy, this anisotropy has a paramagnetic effect for p(parallel to) > p(vertical bar) and a diamagnetic one for p(parallel to) < p(vertical bar). In addition, the parallel flow induces paramagnetism, while the residual toroidal flow associated with the electric field induces diamagnetism. The analytic results obtained here contribute to the physics understanding of axisymmetric equilibria with pressure anisotropy and flow, and can be employed for validating equilibrium codes.
