Abstract
A plasma that is confined in a closed field line geometry, such as a levitated dipole, may be subject to the formation of convective cells. Using a “drift” fluid model, it is shown that such flow patterns can represent an appropriate equilibrium in a dipole field that contains a plasma with a nonaxisymmetric pressure profile. This can provide a means of fueling and heating a dipole confinement device.
