The variational formulation of the axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium equations with plasma flows is addressed and a more comprehensive method is presented that allows, in particular, for open boundary conditions and discontinuous (shock) solutions. A numerical procedure based on the variational formulation is described and a validation test for an open conical geometry, including also hydrodynamic shocks, is investigated.

Abstract
The variational formulation of the axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium equations with plasma flows is addressed and a more comprehensive method is presented that allows, in particular, for open boundary conditions and discontinuous (shock) solutions. A numerical procedure based on the variational formulation is described and a validation test for an open conical geometry, including also hydrodynamic shocks, is investigated.
