Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is an alternative approach to fusion between traditional inertial confinement fusion and magnetic confinement fusion. It involves three processes: the formation of target plasma, the translation of target plasma, and compression process of implosion. In this paper, the translation process is studied with a two-dimensional magneto-hydrodynamic code MPF-2D, and the result shows that it is necessary to add a proper magnetic field in the translation process of field reversed configuration in order to maintain its topological structure. The effects of initial magnetic pressure, translation magnetic field, and the gap between coils are studied in detail.
