AbstractAbstract
[en] Experimentally, the tilting mode has not been observed in the field reversed theta pinch experiment FRX-B. Various estimates have indicated that ideal MHD theory would predict such a mode to be unstable. An equilibrium configuration very much like the typical FRX-B plasma has been computed and has been used to initialize two different evolutionary computations of the tilting displacement. A linearized MHD code, RIPPLE VI, and the non-linear MHD code, MALICE, both confirm the existence of the tilting mode and are in good agreement on its linear growth rate. Compressive MHD effects (as well as kinetic mechanisms ignored in this model) may non-linearly stabilize this mode
