On the Distribution of Plasmoids In High-Lundquist-Number Magnetic Reconnection
Yi-Min Huang, A. Bhattacharjee
The distribution function of magnetic flux in plasmoids formed in high-Lundquist-number current sheets is studied by means of an analytic phenomenological model and dire…
Gyrokinetic studies of the effect of beta on drift-wave stability in NCSX
J. A. Baumgaertel, G. W. Hammett, D. R. Mikkelsen +2
The gyrokinetic turbulence code GS2 was used to investigate the effects of plasma beta on linear, collisionless ion temperature gradient (ITG) modes and trapped electron modes (TEM…
Comparing linear ion-temperature-gradient-driven mode stability of the National Compact Stellarator Experiment and a shaped tokamak
J. A. Baumgaertel, G. W. Hammett, D. R. Mikkelsen
One metric for comparing confinement properties of different magnetic fusion energy configurations is the linear critical gradient of drift wave modes. The critical gradient scale…
Resistive and ferritic-wall plasma dynamos in a sphere
I. V. Khalzov, B. P. Brown, E. J. Kaplan +5
We numerically study the effects of varying electric conductivity and magnetic permeability of the bounding wall on a kinematic dynamo in a sphere for parameters relevant to Madiso…
Observation of a Free-Shercliff-Layer Instability in Cylindrical Geometry
Austin Roach, Erik Spence, Christophe Gissinger +4
We report on observations of a free-Shercliff-layer instability in a Taylor-Couette experiment using a liquid metal over a wide range of Reynolds numbers, . The f…
Bistability between equatorial and axial dipoles during magnetic field reversals
Christophe Gissinger, Ludovic Petitdemange, Martin Schrinner +1
Numerical simulations of the geodynamo in presence of an heterogeneous heating are presented. We study the dynamics and the structure of the magnetic field when the equatorial symm…
