Dynamical processes in the reversed-field pinch

Creators

Description

This paper presents a review of recent theoretical work on the Reversed-Field Pinch (RFP) at Los Alamos National Laboratory. A wide variety of topics are discussed. These include: nonlinear, two-dimensional, helical, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of current-driven modes; a statistical model of plasma turbulence in the RFP; analytic and numerical calculations of resistive ballooning modes in toroidal geometry; work on coherent m = 0 excitations observed in the ZT-40M device; finite Larmor radius effects on the tearing mode; destabilization of MHD modes by kinetic effects; and, possible plasma heating by means of magnetoacoustic oscillations
