Previously, the CM concept has been studied in single-fluid MHD. Here, we present preliminary two-fluid (electron-ion) studies of stability and heating in CM using two-fluid 5-moment modeling of the CM configuration and focus on non-MHD effects. We also present preliminary gkyrokinetic and gyrofluid simulation results in the context of WHAM, focusing on the E field profile generation, the impact of the expanders, and flows parallel to the mirror B field. All simulations are performed using the open-source Princeton-VT code, Gkeyll (https://gkyl.readthedocs.io).
