Feasibility study of microwave electron heating on the C-2 field-reversed configuration device
February 2015 | X. Yang | AIP Conference Proceedings | Paper
Different microwave heating scenarios for the C-2 plasmas have been investigated recently with use of both the Genray ray-racing code and the IPF-FDMC full-wave code, and the study was focused on the excitation of the electron Bernstein wave (EBW) with O-mode launch.
Hybrid MHD Model for a Driven, Ion-Current FRC
October 2014 | H.U. Rahman | IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science | Paper
A standard magnetohydrodynamic code, MACH2 [1], is modified in 1-D to account for two-fluid behavior, to include the effects of a finite-electric field during the formation of a driven, field-reversed configuration (FRC).
