TAE is working towards catalysing a community-wide collaboration to develop a Whole Device Model (WDM) of Compact Tori.
Global particle simulation of field reversed configuration with field aligned mesh in cylindrical coordinates
October 2017 | Jian Bao | APS-DPP | Poster
Motivation: A high performance field reversed configuration has been sustained for 5ms, which is beyond the turbulent transport time scale.
Fully-kinetic Ion Simulation of Global Electrostatic Turbulent Transport in C-2U
October 2017 | D.P. Fulton| APS-DPP | Poster
High-performance beam-driven field- reversed configuration (FRC). Achieved 5ms sustainment in June 2015, AND shots >10 ms, limited by stored energy.
