Although high rotation velocity in a FRC may lead to rotational instabilities, it is also believed that shear flow helps in improving FRC stability and transport.

One of the goals of the C-2 experiment [1,2] is to explore FRC sustainment and current drive from neutral beam injection. Studies of the relaxation and confinement of hot anisotropic ions created by the neutral beams are considered to be key elements of the experimental research program.
