Description

Progress in the theory and simulation of high-beta self-organizing plasmas in reverse-field pinch, field-reversed configuration and spheromak were reviewed. First, development of the two-fluid relaxation theory from Taylor relaxation theory was introduced and some examples to which the two-fluid relaxation theory was introduced and some examples to which the two-fluid relaxation theory has been applied were given. Next, the transport theory for high-beta FRC plasmas was given. Finally, results of the high-performance computing on high-beta self-organizing plasmas were described. (author)
