Tri Alpha Energy’s research has been devoted to producing a high temperature, stable, long-lived field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasma state by neutral-beam injection (NBI) and edge biasing/control.

Circuit is decoupled from reversal, with improved pulsed power reliability
– Ionization percentage is ~100%, with flat radial distribution
– High power circuits are implemented on C-2W (Norman)

Based on several decades of experimental and theoretical research of Plasma Configuration with a Reversed magnetic Field (FRC) , it is presently considered as an alternative venue for steady state and/or pulsed CTF.

We report on progress made in using the NIMROD [2] code to simulate formation, translation and merging of FRCs in the C-2 experiment [1]. This sequence is simulated in 2D and 3D, with and without inclusion of the Hall term.

The TAE Technologies C-2 experimental system[1] is a linear device consisting of two separate multi-coil theta-pinch formation sections and a central confinement vessel.
