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.
Electron Heating of a Field Reversed Configuration at the Upper Hybrid Resonance Frequency
November 2013 | E. Garate | APS-DPP | Poster
Field reversed configurations (FRC) have closed field line regions in which the ratio of plasma to electron cyclotron frequency is greater than 1.
Propagation and absorption of ion cyclotron resonant waves in an FRC configuration
November 2013 | F. Cecherini | APS-DPP | Poster
The generation and propagation of an ion cyclotron resonant wave is studied in a Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) plasma which includes at least two different ion species.
Electron Temperature Estimate in C-2 FRC Using Neural Network
November 2013 | S. Aefsky | APS-DPP | Poster
