Simulation of Neutral Beam current drive in C-2 FRC Plasmas
October 2014 | S. Gupta | APS-DPP | Poster
Recently, improved high confinement regime is observed in C2 FRC plasma due to better wall conditions and higher formation magnetic field.
Hybrid MHD Model for a Driven, Ion-Current FRC
October 2014 | H.U. Rahman | IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science | Paper
A standard magnetohydrodynamic code, MACH2 [1], is modified in 1-D to account for two-fluid behavior, to include the effects of a finite-electric field during the formation of a driven, field-reversed configuration (FRC).
Hybrid magneto-hydrodynamic simulation of a driven FRC
June 2014 | H.U. Rahman | Physics of Plasmas | Paper
We simulate a field-reversed configuration (FRC), produced by an “inductively driven” FRC experiment; comprised of a central-flux coil and exterior-limiter coil. To account for the plasma kinetic behavior, a standard 2-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic code is modified to preserve the azimuthal, two-fluid behavior.
