Abstract

The article presents a two-dimensional axially symmetric numerical model of a diamagnetic plasma confinement regime in a linear magnetic system as applied to laboratory experiments at the BINP SB RAS, Novosibirsk. The model is based on the kinetic approximation for the ion components of the background plasma and the injected beam. The MHD approximation is used for the electron component, taking into account the mechanisms of energy dissipation due to conductivity and thermal conductivity. The particle-in-cell method is used to solve the Vlasov equation. The dependences of the magnetic field profile and plasma density on the current of the ion beam and its energy are found.
