The transport phenomenon of a Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) is studied using the newly developed two-dimensional code Q2D, which couples a magnetohydrodynamic code with a Monte Carlo code for the beam component. The simulation by Q2D of the transport parallel to the simple open h-pinch fields and its associated outflow phenomenon shows an excellent agreement with one of the leading theories, elevating the Q2D validity and simultaneously deepening the theoretical understanding of this fundamental process.
I am pleased to announce that as of October 4, Tri Alpha Energy will now be known as TAE Technologies. The name change reflects our growing tech footprint and adjacent innovations developed in pursuit of our core work in fusion energy.
I’m President and CTO of a private technology company, with a team of 160 scientists, visionaries, researchers and rebels – all committed to starting a global energy revolution through fusion.

Gyrokinetic simulations of C-2-like field-reversed configuration (FRC) find that electrostatic drift- waves are locally stable in the core. The stabilization mechanisms include finite Larmor radius effects, magnetic well (negative grad-B), and fast electron short circuit effects.
