Self-organized confinement in whole-device modeling of laboratory magnetospheres

Turbulent self-organization driven by global ideal interchange modes in a dipole-confined plasma is explored with self-consistent, whole-plasma simulations using flux-tube averaged magnetohydrodynamic model dipole magnetic geometry. We show the existence of robust particle pinch interchange-mode fluctuations, which particles are transported up density gradient. It found that profiles field spontaneously relax to marginally stable state as centrally peaked pressure and created transport.
