MCTrans++: A 0-D Model for Centrifugal Mirrors
Nick R. Schwartz, Ian G. Abel, Adil B. Hassam +2
The centrifugal mirror confinement scheme incorporates supersonic rotation of a plasma into a magnetic mirror device. This concept has been shown experimentally to drastically decr…
Whistler-regulated MHD: Transport equations for electron thermal conduction in the high intracluster medium of galaxy clusters
J. F. Drake, C. Pfrommer, C. S. Reynolds +6
Transport equations for electron thermal energy in the high intracluster medium (ICM) are developed that include scattering from both classical collisions and self-generated…
Boundary layers and noise in magnetized plasmas line-tied at conducting surfaces
A. B. Hassam, Yi-Min Huang
In magnetized plasma situations where magnetic fields intersect massive conducting boundaries, "line-tied" boundary conditions are often used, analytically and in numerical simulat…
Effective Mass in Rosenbluth-Hinton type zonal flows
W. Sengupta, A. B. Hassam
An initial radial electric field, , in an axisymmetric tokamak, results in geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) oscillations. The GAMs Landau damp, resulting in a much smaller fina…
Nonlinear stability of the ideal magnetohydrodynamic interchange mode at marginal conditions in a transverse magnetic field
Jupiter Bagaipo, P. N. Guzdar, A. B. Hassam
The stability of the ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) interchange mode at marginal conditions is studied. A sufficiently strong constant magnetic field component transverse to the d…
Boundary induced amplification and nonlinear instability of interchange modes
Jupiter Bagaipo, A. B. Hassam
It is shown that small distortions on the boundaries are amplified in the core of a magnetized plasma if the system is close to marginal stability for the ideal magnetohydrodynamic…
