The field reversed configuration (FRC) has been a curious case in plasma physics research in that early MHD analysis suggested FRCs should be
grossly unstable, while experimental results contradicted that prediction

The method of extracting inductance based on formulas has been widely used due to its simplicity and efficiency. The literature primarily
includes various formulas for inductance, which have been derived using different approximations.

We report evidence of successful generation of field-reversed configuration plasmas by neutral beam injection. This is achieved by trapping the steady state beams in an initial seed plasma, hence providing a direct source of toroidally directed energetic ion current and increase plasma …

We provide a brief summary and comments on how we utilized the Exascale Computing
Project (ECP) supercomputing resources for the development of the frontal research of nuclear fusion
reactor development. In turn, our demand and use helped stimulate the ECP hardware and software, …
