In this paper, we have explored, on the basis of laboratory experiments, the creation of afluxtubewith twisted magnetic field lines.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In our experiment, we produced a toroidalfluxtubewith twisted magnetic field lines by applying helicity using an induction electric field.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Nevertheless, they reported that observed electron heat transport fromfluxtubegyrokinetic simulations is sufficiently large after all.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In the model, a prescribed generator force at the equatorial end of thefluxtubesets up the dynamics by driving a field-aligned current.
From theCambridge English Corpus
To examine this expulsion further, we performed a second simulation in which the centre of thefluxtube was initially located one cell above the centre of the shear layer.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The points labeled (1), (2), (3) correspond to different toroidal locations, and thefluxtubeis taken to be nearly circular at the outboard midplane (1).
From theCambridge English Corpus
As used in astrophysics, afluxtubegenerally has a larger magnetic field and other properties that differ from the surrounding space.

If the quarkantiquark pair are immersed in a dual superconductor, then the electric field lines get compressed to afluxtube.

Wikipedia
Some condensed matter systems propose a structure superficially similar to a magnetic monopole, known as afluxtube.

Naively, one would expect the current to be parallel to the magnetic field along afluxtube.

The current into or out of thefluxtubemust be associated with a force that slows down this spinning.

When this picture is considered in detail, it is seen that thefluxtubemust charge up and the surrounding plasma must spin around it.

Beyond a certain distance, the energy of thefluxtubebinding two quarks increases linearly.

Wikipedia
At a large enough distance, it becomes energetically more favorable to pull a quark-antiquark pair out of the vacuum rather than increase the length of thefluxtube.

This phenomenon challenges our under standing of the basic physics of flux tubes.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Io's magneticfluxtubeis used to hyper-accelerate spacecraft throughout the solar system.

Wikipedia
The concentration of the magnetic field into flux tubes occur s spontaneously, in opposition to the considerable magnetic pressure of the concentrated field.
From theCambridge English Corpus
However, apart from that, the force is transmitted without attenuation along the magnetic flux tubes.
