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.
Multi-Wavelength Interferometry and Axial Polarimetry on C-2W
October 2017 | Roger J Smith | APS-DPP | Poster
Tri Alpha Energy’s C-2W device is operational and represents another major step in a progression of advanced beam-driven Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) confinement devices that have prolonged the lifetime, increased stability and added significant neutral beam injection power to heat and sustain an FRC plasma.
Overview of the C-2W Field-Reversed Configuration Experiment Diagnostic Suite
October 2017 | M. C. Thompson | APS-DPP | Poster
Tri Alpha Energy (TAE) studies the evolution of advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas sustained by neutral-beam injection.
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.
Near-infrared Bremsstrahlung Radiation Measurements in an Advanced Beam-driven FRC Plasma
October 2017 | Marcel Nations | APS-DPP | Poster
In magnetically confined fusion plasmas, the effective ionic charge (????) is a measure of the plasma contamination from impurities
Separatrix E×B Shear Flows and Turbulence Propagation in the C-2U FRC; Diagnostic Upgrades for Density and Magnetic Field Fluctuation Measurements in C-2W
October 2017 | L. Schmitz | APS-DPP | Poster
Ion-scale modes have been shown to be stable in the C-2/C-2FRC core, in agreement with initial gyrokinetic simulation results, with a characteristic inverted toroidal wavenumber spectrum confirmed via Doppler Backscattering (DBS) measurements.
