Fusion Enhancement from Bunched Ion Beams
October 2018 | B. Scott Nicks | APS-DPP | Poster
Beam-driven ion-Bernstein mode seen theoretically, exhibits wakefield character that creates similar large fast ion tail and fusion enhancement
Simulation of FRC Equilibrium and Global Stability
October 2018 | S. Dettrick | APS-DPP | Poster
Flexible control systems for all three of these actuators are available on the C-2W experiment, so we study their effects on FRC Equilibrium and Global Stability
Simulations of edge biasing and rotation in the C-2W FRC experiment using the Q2D code
October 2018 | M. Onofri | APS-DPP | Poster
We study the effects of end shorting and electrostatic biasing in simulations of the C-2W Field Reversed Configuration experiment using the Q2D code.
Effects of Rotation on Turbulent Transport in Field Reversed Configuration
October 2018 | J. Bao | APS-DPP | Poster
Local simulation of FRC finds that the drift wave instability is stable in the core region while is unstable in the SOL region [3,4,5].
Onset of Tilt Instability in FRC Plasmas
October 2018 | F. Ceccherini | APS-DPP | Poster
Tilt instability in FRC plasmas1 is a well-known MHD phenomenon that has been extensively investigated over the years by different authors and an empirical scaling law
Numerical Model Developments of A New Code (ANC) for Fully-kinetic Ion Simulation of Turbulence in C-2W
October 2018 | D. Fulton | APS-DPP | Poster
A New Code (ANC) is a first-principles, integrated PIC code, based on GTC, but designed specifically for FRC magnetic geometry
