Two-dimensional numerical equilibria of field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas in the strong mirror field applied externally are studied by means of the Grad–Shafranov equation. Appropriate choice of the pressure function is necessary to obtain a thin and elongated equilibrium, as observed in the FRC Injection Experiment (FIX) [H. Himura et al., Phys. Plasmas 2, 191 (1995)]. To solve the Grad–Shafranov equation, the finite difference method is used, applying the boundary-fitted curvilinear coordinates and the attracted grids near the separatrix. The outstanding feature of the equilibria is the presence of a narrow and sharp spike in the toroidal current profile near the separatrix.
