Whole Device Modelingof Compact Tori: Stability and Transport Modeling of C-2W
October 2017 | Sean Dettrick | APS-DPP | Poster
TAE is working towards catalysing a community-wide collaboration to develop a Whole Device Model (WDM) of Compact Tori.
Characterization of Magnetohydrodynamic Transport in a Field Reversed Configuration
October 2017 | Marco Onofri | APS-DPP | Poster
Transport in a Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) is studied by using the two-dimensional code Q2D, which couples a magnetohydrodynamic code with a Monte Carlo code for the beam component.
Global particle simulation of field reversed configuration with field aligned mesh in cylindrical coordinates
October 2017 | Jian Bao | APS-DPP | Poster
Motivation: A high performance field reversed configuration has been sustained for 5ms, which is beyond the turbulent transport time scale.
Fully-kinetic Ion Simulation of Global Electrostatic Turbulent Transport in C-2U
October 2017 | D.P. Fulton| APS-DPP | Poster
High-performance beam-driven field- reversed configuration (FRC). Achieved 5ms sustainment in June 2015, AND shots >10 ms, limited by stored energy.
Cross-separatrix Coupling in Nonlinear Global Electrostatic Turbulent Transport in C-2U
October 2017 | Calvin K. Lau | APS-DPP | Poster
