Reduced MHD model and simulations for advanced plasma control
November 2020 | S. Galkin | APS-DPP | Presentation
Motivation and requirements
• Reduced MHD model
• Domain discretization
• Simulation Bandwidth control
• Time integration scheme
Generation of Relativistic THz Radiation by Laser Irradiation of Microplasma Waveguide with Application to Pulsed Polarimetry
November 2020 | A. Necas | APS-DPP | Poster
MFE* devices need internal field measurements, B(r). Pulsed Polarimetry provides B, ne (μneBds). Based on a FIR (150 𝜇𝑚 or 2 THz) radiation
Blended Kinetic Simulations of Transport in C-2W
November 2020 | C. Lau | APS-DPP | Poster
Goal: understand confinement in current devices; predict confinement in future devices
FRC as a Two-Fluid Flowing Relaxed State
November 2020 | B. Nicks | APS-DPP | Poster
Can FRCs (field-reversed configurations) be shown to be a preferred state of plasma under certain conditions?
FRC Fast Ion Distribution: Effect on Equilibria
November 2020 | L. Galeotti | APS-DPP | Poster
Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) plays a critical role in TAE’s C-2W FRC device providing plasma stability, heating and current drive. C-2W produces steady-state FRCs that are stable and contain significant current and pressure from fast ions.
