Stability analysis of sharp-boundary Vlasov-fluid screw-pinch equilibria

  • 1. Los Alamos Scientific Lab., N.Mex. (USA)

Description

The Vlasov-fluid model, as proposed by Freidberg [1], is being used to study the linear stability of sharp-boundary screw pinches numerically. the numerical method appears to work well, and some preliminary results are reported here. The sharp-boundary calculation is useful for gaining insight and for comparing with known MHD results. We expect to extend the calculation to include diffuse profiles in the future. (author)
