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.

Edge biasing has long been used in various fusion devices to actively control the plasma potential profile in order to suppress radial transport by decorrelating density and potential fluctuations through flow shear.

In any magnetic plasma confinement device, it is advantageous to limit hot-ion loss through charge-exchange with cold neutral gas by minimizing the gas density near the plasma.

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.
