FRC Equilibria are calculated with the LR_eq Grad-Shafranov solver.
Propagation of ion cyclotron resonant waves in an FRC configuration
April 2013 | F. Cecherini | Sherwood Fusion Theory | Presentation
The Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) exhibits very peculiar structures for both the plasma density and the magnetic field.
Transport simulations of an FRC with neutral beam injection using the Q2D code
April 2013 | M. Onofri | Sherwood Fusion Theory | Presentation
A 2D transport code (Q2D) is used to study the evolution of C2 Field Reversed Configuration with neutral beam injection.
Simulation of Fast Ion Transport in the C-2 FRC Experiment
January 2013 | S. Dettrick | 2013 Energetic Particles Workshop UCI | Presentation
Without magnetic perturbations, NB Ion energy confinement time is τE~ 500us. Most NB ion energy goes to heating electrons.
FRC edge physics using NIMROD
November 2012 | A. Necas | APS-DPP | Poster
We have studied issues related to edge physics of the HPF regime FRC [1] ” using the NIMROD extended MHD code [2].
Interaction of Fast Ions with Global Plasma Modes in the C-2 Field Reversed Configuration Experiment
November 2012 | A. Smirnov | APS-DPP | Poster
A high-confinement operating regime [1] with plasma lifetimes significantly exceeding past empirical scaling laws was recently obtained by combining plasma gun edge biasing and tangential Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) in the C-2 field-reversed configuration (FRC) experiment [2, 3].
