Abstract
By applying a new assumption of density, i.e. R(2)rho = const, the continui
ty equation is satisfied to the order of epsilon (2) with E being the inver
se aspect ratio. In the case of large aspect ratio, a set of reduced magnet
ohydrodynamic equations in toroidal geometry are obtained. The new assumpti
on about the density is supported by experimental observation to some exten
t.
