NIMROD Simulations of CTH Non-Axisymmetric Plasmas
POSTER
Abstract
The NIMROD code has recently been modified to allow for simulations of non-axisymmetric plasmas. As an early application of this new method, stellarator-like fields in the Compact Toroidal Hybrid (CTH) at Auburn University have been simulated and analyzed. A comparison between NIMROD calculated equilibrium fields and modeled equilibrium fields is presented. Also, plans for a study of disruptions caused by edge magnetic islands in the CTH are presented.
