Rotational stability of a long field-reversed configuration
February 2014 | D. Barnes | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
Rotationally driven modes of long systems with dominantly axial magnetic field are considered. An
Spectroscopic Measurements of Ion Temperature and Plasma Rotation in C-2 FRC plasmas
November 2013 | D. Osin | APS-DPP | Poster
In FRC plasmas impurity ions may not be in thermal and rotational equilibria.
Transport simulations of an FRC plasma with neutral beam injection
November 2013 | M. Onofri | APS-DPP | Poster
The evolution of a Field Reversed Configuration with neutral beam injection is studied using the Q2D code.
FRC Stability Study with NIMROD and HYM Codes
November 2013 | A. Necas | APS-DPP | Poster
Gyroviscous (GV) stress for weakly magnetized plasma has been implemented in the NIMROD code to study Hall and FLR effects on FRC stability with emphasis on the rotational modes.
Neutral beam current drive in Field Reversed Configurations
November 2013 | S. Gupta | APS-DPP | Poster
The Neutral beam current drive mechanism, originally known as Ohkawa Current, is investigated for FRC plasmas using small amounts of high Z impurities.
