Laminar and Turbulent Plasmoid Ejection in a Laboratory Parker Spiral Current Sheet
Ethan E. Peterson, Douglass A. Endrizzi, Michael Clark +8
Quasi-periodic plasmoid formation at the tip of magnetic streamer structures is observed to occur in experiments on the Big Red Ball as well as in simulations of these experiments…
Ion heating and flow driven by an Instability found in Plasma Couette Flow
J. Milhone, K. Flanagan, J. Egedal +5
We present the first observation of instability in weakly magnetized, pressure dominated plasma Couette flow firmly in the Hall regime. Strong Hall currents couple to a low frequen…
Weakly magnetized, Hall dominated plasma Couette flow
K. Flanagan, J. Milhone, J. Egedal +5
A novel plasma equilibrium in the high-, Hall regime that produces centrally-peaked, high Mach number Couette flow is described. Flow is driven using a weak, uniform magnetic fi…
The Wisconsin Plasma Astrophysics Laboratory
C. B. Forest, K. Flanagan, M. Brookhart +21
The Wisconsin Plasma Astrophysics Laboratory (WiPAL) is a flexible user facility designed to study a range of astrophysically relevant plasma processes as well as novel geometries…
Prospects for observing the magnetorotational instability in the Plasma Couette Experiment
K. Flanagan, M. Clark, C. Collins +4
Many astrophysical disks, such as protoplanetary disks, are in a regime where non-ideal, plasma-specific magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects can significantly influence the behavior…
Taylor-Couette Flow of Unmagnetized Plasma
C. Collins, M. Clark, C. M. Cooper +6
Differentially rotating flows of unmagnetized, highly conducting plasmas have been created in the Plasma Couette Experiment. Previously, hot-cathodes have been used to control plas…
The Madison plasma dynamo experiment: a facility for studying laboratory plasma astrophysics
C. M. Cooper, J. Wallace, M. Brookhart +13
The Madison plasma dynamo experiment (MPDX) is a novel, versatile, basic plasma research device designed to investigate flow driven magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities and othe…
