Multidimensional MHD computations for the field-reversed theta pinch and the reversed-field pinch

Description

The study of alternative approaches to the tokamak for the design of a magnetic fusion reactor is an area of active research in both the United States and Japan. Among the most promising of these concepts are the Field-Reversed Theta Pinch (FRTP) and the Reversed-Field Pinch (RFP). This paper briefly describes some recent large-scale numerical MHD simulations of these devices
