Abstract :
Summary form only given. NumerEx has developed, implemented, and applied two-dimensional (2-d) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations model of liner compression of field reversed configurations (FRCs) based on MACH2. These simulations concentrated on FRC formation, translation, capture, and liner compression. We also performed 2-d simulations to assess Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities in the r-theta plane during preionization.
