Abstract
This report lays the necessary ground work for a systematic study of the stability of current-sheared (plywood model) planar, plasma pinches. The analysis will be carried out using a 'multi-stream', one-dimensional simulation. Details of a finite-element optimization scheme which may eventually be applied to increase the efficiency of the simulation are also provided. (GRA)
