Nonlinear behavior of the reversed field pinch with nonideal boundary conditions

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6665590
The effect of a resistive boundary and/or a distant conducting wall on a reversed field pinch is investigated with a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics code. Fluctuations rise with increasing distance between the conducting wall and the plasma. The enhanced fluctuation induced v /times/ b electric field primarily opposes toroidal current; hence loop voltage must increase to sustain the current. 13 refs., 4 figs.
