Radial Current and Rotation Profile Tailoring in Highly Ionized Linear Plasma Devices
arXiv:1906.08391 · doi:10.1063/1.5115788
Abstract
In a rotating magnetized plasma cylinder with shear, cross-field current can arise from inertial mechanisms and from the cross-field viscosity. Considering these mechanisms, it is possible to calculate the irreducible radial current draw in a cylindrical geometry as a function of the rotation frequency. The resulting expressions raise novel possibilities for tailoring the electric field profile by controlling the density and temperature profiles of a plasma.
