High Fidelity Modeling of Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) Thrusters
Abstract
This report reviews our effort to develop an advanced multiscale and multifidelity Modeling and Simulation (M and S) capability targeted at the fundamental studies of the physical characteristics of Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) plasma for advanced space propulsion. This effort consists of numerical model development, physical model development, and systematic studies of the non-linear plasma dynamics and finite rate processes governing FRC formation, acceleration, stability and interaction with the environment.
