Development of Integrated Modeling for Field-Reversed Configuration Design

An integrated modeling suite for Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) design is being developed at ENN, consisting of (1) coils and magnetic field design module; (2) fixed and free boundary MHD Grad-Shafranov equilibrium solver; (3) nonlinear 2D resistive MHD solver; (4) 1D linear gyrokinetic drift instability code; (5) magnetic and liner compression module; (6) 1D Finite-Lamor-Radius (FLR) and 2D MHD linear instability solvers; (7) single particle full kinetic orbit solver; and (8) other fusion relevant modules. In addition to these modules listed above, a powerful general kinetic dispersion relation solver BO [H. S. Xie , BO: A unified tool for plasma waves and instabilities analysis, Computer Physics Communications, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2019.06.014.] has also been developed to study the physics issues in FRC, such as the high frequency loss-cone instability and lower-hybrid drift instability in FRC.
