Observation of axisymmetric standard magnetorotational instability in the laboratory
Yin Wang, Erik P. Gilson, Fatima Ebrahimi +2
We report the first direct evidence for the axisymmetric standard magnetorotational instability (SMRI) from a combined experimental and numerical study of a magnetized liquid-metal…
Plasmoids formation during simulations of coaxial helicity injection in the National Spherical Torus Experiment
F. Ebrahimi, R. Raman
Formation of an elongated Sweet-Parker current sheet and a transition to plasmoid instability has for the first time been predicted by simulations in a large-scale toroidal fusion…
Onset of Plasmoid Reconnection during Magnetorotational Instability
Jarrett Rosenberg, Fatima Ebrahimi
The evolution of current sheets in accretion flows undergoing magnetorotational instability (MRI) is examined through two and three dimensional numerical modelling of the resistive…
Importance of theory, computation and predictive modeling in the US magnetic fusion energy strategic plan
Fatima Ebrahimi, Gary Staebler, Paul Bonoli +5
Based on the community input at the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Madison and Austin workshops in July and December 2017, respectively, this whitepaper was prepared and submit…
Turbulence and order in magnetized flowing plasmas
Fatima Ebrahimi, Eric Blackman, Wendell Horton
This whitepaper was submitted to the 2019-2020 APS-DPP-CPP (American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics Community Planning Process) on plasma discovery science. It highlig…
An Alfvenic reconnecting plasmoid thruster
Fatima Ebrahimi
A new concept for generation of thrust for space propulsion is introduced. Energetic thrust is generated in the form of plasmoids (confined plasma in closed magnetic loops) when ma…
