Dynamics of sheath-connected plasma filaments in magnetic field with arbitrary geometry

We present the results of analysis of sheath-connected blob dynamics in magnetic field with arbitrary geometry. For the case of magnetic configurations with small curvature of the field lines it is demonstrated that motion of a plasma filament can be described by a single time-independent effective...
