A new equilibrium pressure profile extending the Rigid-Rotor (RR) model with a simple unified expression $P=P(psi;beta_{s},alpha, sigma)$ for both inside and outside the separatrix is proposed, in which the radial normalized field-reversed configuration (FRC) equilibrium profiles for pressure, magnetic field, and current can be determined by only two dimensionless parameters $beta_sequiv P_s/2mu_0B_e^2$ and $delta_sequiv L_{ps}/R_s$, where $P_s$ is the thermal pressure at the separatrix, $B_e$ is the external magnetic field strength, $L_{ps}$ is the pressure profile scale length at the separatrix, and $R_s$ is the separatrix radius. This modified rigid rotor (MRR) model has sufficient flexibility to accommodate the narrow scrape of layer (SOL) width and hollow current density profiles, and can be used to fit experimental measurements satisfactorily. Detailed one-dimensional (1D) characteristics of the new MRR model are investigated analytically and numerically, and the results are also confirmed in two-dimensional (2D) numerical equilibrium solutions.
