Equilibria of field reversed ion rings
Description
Numerical computations of axisymmetric, two dimensional rigid rotor equilibria for field reversed ion rings are presented. A new numerical method, based upon Newton's method, is introduced and compared with earlier methods. Several new classes of equilibria, which are difficult if not impossible to find by earlier methods, are computed. These include solutions with two rings of current, a configuration which should occur in the evolution of a tearing mode of a long layer
