Rotational Stability of FRC
April 2013 | D. Barnes | Sherwood Fusion Theory | Presentation
Mode is driven by rotation. Rotation provides fictitious outward gravity. Rayleigh-Taylor-like heavy-on-light instability.

Finite Larmor Radius approximation for waves propagation in cylindrical plasma configurations
November 2011 | L. Galeotti | APS-DPP | Poster
We present an analytical derivation in cylindrical geometry of the Finite Larmor Radius approximation for the wave equations in the cyclotron frequency range.
Plasma equilibria with multiple ion species: Equations and algorithm
August 2011 | L. Galeotti | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
Axisymmetric equilibrium of a magnetically confined plasma with multiple ion species is considered. To describe hot plasmas with isothermal surfaces, we adopt a formulation consistent with zero poloidal ion flow.
Mutli-Ion Equilibrium With Strong Rotation
November 2010 | L. Galeotti | APS-DPP | Poster
We describe a new formulation of the multi-ion species.
