Construction of exact plasma equilibrium solutions with different geometries.
Infinite families of exact isotropic and anisotropic plasma equilibria with and without dynamics can be constructed in different geometries, using the representation of the static MHD equilibrium system in coordinates connected with magnetic surfaces. A sample equilibrium anisotropic model of Earth magnetosheath plasma is given.
