| Abstract | We present three-dimensional simulation studies of large amplitude electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) structures, denoted whistler spheromaks, in magnetized plasmas [1]. These threedimensional, localized structures are propagating along the ambient magnetic field lines and are characterized by a poloidal magnetic field larger than the background magnetic field. The simulation study reveals that the toroidal magnetic field determines the propagation direction and the speed of the spheromak. Our numerical results show excellent agreement with recent laboratory experiments where whistler spheromaks were excited with a ring antenna immersed in the plasma [2]. |
