Potential solver for sloshing-ion thermal barriers

Description: The quasineutrality equations at points (a) and (b) in a sloshing-ion thermal barrier are derived and an algorithm for their solution is given. The solution technique is sufficiently reliable and efficient to be used in a fluid code where it must be invoked at each time step. Circumstances under which the equations admit multiple solutions are noted and discussed.

Gyrokinetic equilibrium and stability in quadrupole tandem mirrors

Description: This paper discusses recent theoretical work on the equilibrium and stability of quadrupole tandem mirrors in the paraxial limit. It reviews calculations of three-dimensional equilibria by means of a ..beta..-expansion technique which lead to an understanding of the important role played by parallel currents and the corollary importance of careful design of the structure of the vacuum geodesic curvature. The previously predicted scaling with central-cell length of the finite-..beta.. distortion… more
