PRESSURE BALANCE IN THE TOROIDAL ORTHOGONAL PINCH
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4842351
It is noted that a pure toroidal magnetic field cannot produce a toroidal orthogonal pinch, but that a poloidal field component is necessary. Calculations are carried out to find minimum toroidal current necessary to produce a poloidal field capable of sustaining the pinch. Two models are studied: a pinch having a sharp boundary and no internal magnetic field, and a diffuse pinch. (T.F.H.)
