Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 095001 (2008) [4 pages]Temperature Contours and Ghost Surfaces for Chaotic Magnetic FieldsReceived 5 November 2007; published 3 March 2008 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. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
