This paper reviews the research on the reversed field pinch (RFP) in the last three decades.
Substantial experimental and theoretical progress and transformational changes have been …

We report the first nonlinear three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) numerical
simulations of the reversed-field pinch (RFP) that exhibit a systematic repetition of …

Nonlinear fluid modelling predictions of qualitatively new self-organized helical states in the
reversed-field pinch configuration are confirmed by experiments in the RFX-mod device. The …

Stationary 3D equilibria can form in fusion plasmas via saturation of magnetohydrodynamic
(MHD) instabilities or stimulated by external 3D fields. In these cases the current profile is …

To better understand multi-scale interactions between global tearing modes and
microturbulence in the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) reversed-field pinch (RFP), the …

This paper deals with helical self-organization in current-carrying toroidal pinches for the
magnetic confinement of fusion plasmas. We perform our study in the framework of 3D …

An overview of recent results from the MST programme on physics important for the
advancement of the reversed field pinch (RFP) as well as for improved understanding of …

Measurements and simulations show that plasma relaxation processes in the reversed field
pinch drive and redistribute both magnetic flux and momentum. To examine this relaxation …

Helical self-organized reversed-field pinch (RFP) regimes emerge both numerically—in 3D
visco-resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations—and experimentally, as in the …

Nonlinear resistive-magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) computation with heating and
anisotropic transport is applied to examine the interaction between thermal energy and …
