Equilibria of field-reversed configuration with subsidiary coils
Abstract
Two-dimensional equilibria of a field-reversed configuration with subsidiary coils are computed by integrating the ideal magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium equation. The mirror coils assist to compress the plasma appreciably in the axial direction and also help sustain a literal 'compact torus', which is just smaller than the inner dimensions of the main coil. The cusp coils enlarge the plasma and consequently make the gradient of plasma density relaxed in the radial direction.
