toroidal field in a sentence
Examples
- This decomposition is symmetric in that the curl of a toroidal field is poloidal, and the curl of a poloidal field is toroidal.
- The field lines around the plasma current combine with the toroidal field to produce helical field lines, which wrap around the torus in both directions.
- The central solenoid and toroidal field superconducting magnets designed for the ITER fusion reactor use niobium-tin ( Nb 3 Sn ) as a superconductor.
- where R is the major radius, r the minor radius, B _ p the poloidal field strength, and B _ t the toroidal field.
- A simple toroidal field, however, provides poor confinement because the radial gradient of the field strength results in a drift in the direction of the axis.
- For cylindrical geometry, Bessel functions provide the solution of eq . ( 1 ) and for Theta > 1.2 the toroidal field reverses at the wall.
- In 1979 Rosenbluth and Bussac published a paper describing generalizations of Taylor's work, including a spherical minimum energy state having zero toroidal field on the bounding surface.
- Researchers discovered that a simple toroidal field, in which the magnetic field lines run in circles around an axis of symmetry, confines a plasma hardly better than no field at all.
- Since a toroidal field is curved and decreases in strength moving away from the axis of rotation, the ions and the electrons move parallel to the axis, but in opposite directions.
- The toroidal field coil was a central conductor made of copper on the axis of the vacuum tank, and was attached to the vacuum tank through copper limbs covered by insulated clamps.
