ABSTRACT
A magnet system is used in the SPERF to create the magnetic field configuration for simulating the space plasma environment. In this paper, the parameters of the system are designed to achieve the target fields needed by the scaling laws, and the electromagnetic analysis has been performed to validate the results. A procedure to obtain the parameters is proposed based on the investigation into the physical and technological constraints. The vacuum magnetic fields for studying the 3D magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause, Earth's magnetosphere, and 3D magnetic reconnection driven by a plasma gun are computed. In addition, the engineering complexity is reviewed in brief. This research is crucial to the construction of the SPERF, and it is valuable to designing the magnets applied in other fields.
