STABILITY OF THE PINCH

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4329910

The stability of a pinched fluid is studied theoretically, under the combined influence of a longitudinal magnetic field and conducting shell. Conditions allowing complete stability are found. The method used to calculate the stability is to make the relevant virtual displacement and The stability of a pinched fluid is studied theoretically, under the combined influence of a longitudinal magnetic field and conducting shell. Conditions allowing complete stability are found. The method used to calculate the stability is to make the relevant virtual displacement and note if the resulting pressure distribution at the plasma surface is such as to cause the displacement to increase.
