Loss-Cone Stabilization in Rotating Mirrors: Thresholds and Thermodynamics
E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs, N. J. Fisch
In the limit of sufficiently fast rotation, rotating mirror traps are known to be stable against the loss-cone modes associated with conventional (non-rotating) mirrors. This paper…
Extending the Single-Fluid Solvability Conditions for More General Plasma Systems
E. J. Kolmes, M. E. Mlodik, N. J. Fisch
We extend the single-fluid solvability conditions to include plasma systems at arbitrary with arbitrary flows and external forcing terms. This treatment includes both the isotr…
Minimum Stabilizing Energy Release for Mixing Processes
E. J. Kolmes, N. J. Fisch
Diffusive operations, which mix the populations of different elements of phase space, can irreversibly transform a given initial state into any of a spectrum of different states fr…
Fueling limits in a cylindrical viscosity-limited reactor
Tal Rubin, Elijah J. Kolmes, Ian E. Ochs +2
Recently, a method to achieve a "natural hot-ion mode" was suggested, by utilizing ion viscous heating in a rotating plasma with a fixed boundary. We explore the steady-state solut…
Partial-Ionization Deconfinement Effect in Magnetized Plasma
M. E. Mlodik, E. J. Kolmes, I. E. Ochs +2
In partially ionized plasma, where ions can be in different ionization states, each charge state can be described as a different fluid for the purpose of multi-ion collisional tran…
