Hitting the Ground Running: Computational physics education to prepare students for computational physics research
Amy Lisa Graves, Adam D. Light
Momentum exists in the physics community for integrating computation into the undergraduate curriculum. One of many benefits would be preparation for computational research. Our in…
Temperature and lifetime measurements in the SSX wind tunnel
M. Kaur, K. D. Gelber, A. D. Light +1
We describe electron temperature measurements in the SSX MHD wind tunnel using two different methods. First, we estimate along a chord by measuring the ratio of the $C_{III}~…
Magnetothermodynamics: Measurements of the thermodynamic properties in a relaxed magnetohydrodynamic plasma
M. Kaur, L. J. Barbano, E. M. Suen-Lewis +6
We have explored the thermodynamics of compressed magnetized plasmas in laboratory experiments and we call these studies "magnetothermodynamics". The experiments are carried out in…
Magnetothermodynamics: Measuring equations of state in a relaxed magnetohydrodynamic plasma
M. Kaur, L. J. Barbano, E. M. Suen-Lewis +4
We report the first measurements of equations of state of a fully relaxed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) laboratory plasma. Parcels of magnetized plasma, called Taylor states, are forme…
Current driven rotating kink mode in a plasma column with a non-line-tied free end
I. Furno, T. P. Intrator, S. Abbate +5
First experimental measurements are presented for the kink instability in a linear plasma column which is insulated from an axial boundary by finite sheath resistivity. Instability…
