Numerical investigation of reversed field pinches

Description

The ATHENE magnetostatic two-fluid code and its partially ionized version EUROPA have been used to study reversed field pinch configurations, including a new high-beta model. This satisfies all the simplified MHD stability criteria based on magnetic pitch and leads to the useful sealing βsub(theta) proportional to theta3. In the reversed field pinch regime, the high-beta model results suggest the possibility of maintaining the configuration for an appreciable fraction of its diffusion time. (U.K.)
