Planned experiments in the Joint European Torus [Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion Research, Proceedings, 13th International Conference, Washington, D.C., 1990 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1991), Vol. 1, p. 27] (JET) with deuterium-triti ...
The effect of ELMs on confinement in ohmic H-modes has been investigated by analysing the rates of change of global parameters such as the electron content and the stored energy as a function of ELM frequency. In double-null H-modes, ELMs are found to expe ...
The recent revival of interest in the application of the ''ballooning formaiism'' to low-frequency plasma instabilities has prompted a comparison of the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) ballooning approximation with an (in principle) exact normal mode calcu ...
Resistive interchange modes can be driven unstable by large pressure gradients in the negative central magnetic shear (NCS) region of advanced tokamaks. Localized stability analysis reveals that the resistive interchange stability criterion (D-R less than ...
Global Alfven eigenmodes are studied using fluid and kinetic plasma models to determine how the finite Larmor excursions of the bulk species and the resonant Landau interactions modify the spectrum in the toroidicity Alfven eigenmode (TAE) range of frequen ...
The maximum normalized beta achieved in long-pulse tokamak discharges at low collisionality falls significantly below both that observed in short pulse discharges and that predicted by the ideal MHD theory. Recent long-pulse experiments, in particular thos ...
The influence of local equilibrium parameters on the Alfven spectrum is studied. The aim is to solve the inverse problem: identification of the plasma profiles, and especially the safety factor profile, using measurements of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves ...
Reversed magnetic shear is associated with large negative surface averaged parallel current densities that increase in magnitude towards the plasma edge and guarantee stability at large beta in tokamaks. The surface averaged parallel current density is sma ...
Global Alfven eigenmodes are studied using two different models for the plasma and the results compared with the instability threshold measured experimentally. Fluid-resistive models predict that continuum damped toroidicity induced Alfven modes (TAE) are ...
The spectrum of n = 0 Alfven modes is calculated analytically and numerically in cylindrical and toroidal geometries. It includes global Alfven eigenmodes (GAEs) and surface modes (SMs) of the fast magnetoacoustic wave. These modes are not induced by toroi ...
