Abstract

Steady state solutions for anisotropic heat transport in a chaotic magnetic field are determined numerically and compared to a set of “ ghost surfaces-surfaces constructed via an action-gradient flow between the minimax and minimizing periodic orbits. The ghost surfaces are in remarkable agreement with the temperature contours.
