Title: Analytic, two fluid, field reversed configuration equilibrium with sheared rotation

Journal Article · · Phys Fluids B; (United States)
OSTI ID:6823462

A two fluid model is used to derive an analytical equilibrium for elongated field reversed configurations containing shear in both the electron and ion velocity profiles. Like some semiempirical models used previously, the analytical expressions obtained provide a satisfactory fit to the experimental results for all radii with a few key parameters. The present results reduce to the rigid rotor model and the infinite conductivity case for a specific choice of the parameters.
