A numerical study of the free-boundary axisymmetric (n = 0) ideal magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) motions of the EXTRAP device is presented. The dependence of stability on current profiles in the plasma and currents in the external conductors is investigated. ...
The quest to determine accurately the stability of tearing and resistive interchange modes in two-dimensional toroidal geometry led to the development of the PEST-3 code, which is based on solving the singular, zero-frequency ideal MHD equation in the plas ...
Alfven waves in fusion plasmas play an important role in a number of situations. First, in Alfven Wave Heating (AWH) schemes. Second, both theory and experiment have demonstrated the existence of Global Alfven Eigenmodes (GAEs). GAEs have been observed in ...
Ohmic H-mode has been regularly obtained on the TCV tokamak. This paper describes the change in magnetic activity occuring at the transition, the coherent activity during H-mode, a brief description of the dithering phase, and the activity associated with ...
Maxwell's equations are solved in a toroidal axisymmetric plasma. The numerical method implemented in the PENN code is based on a formulation in terms of the electromagnetic potentials and a discretization with standard bilinear or bicubic Hermite finite e ...
Cross-field transport of barium test ions is studied in a Q-machine plasma. Test particles are produced and tracked in their motion by an optical tagging method. The comparison between the measured tag signal and a simple theoretical simulation yields a qu ...
Measurements of toroidal and poloidal rotation of the TCA plasma with Alfven wave heating and different levels of gas feed are reported. The temporal evolution of the rotation was inferred from intrinsic spectral lines of C V and C III, and, using injected ...
The linear MHD stability problem for 3D plasmas with noninteracting hot electron layers and nested magnetic flux surfaces in the absence of dissipation mechanisms is formulated in variational form. Boozer magnetic coordinates are extended to anisotropic pr ...
The paper describes measurements of the sawtooth instability in JET, in which the instability wave function is shown to extend to the edge where it is measured using magnetic coils. The numerous magnetic probes in JET allow the time evolution of the (n = 0 ...
The local ideal three dimensional (3-D) magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) stability for the Wendelstein VTI-X (W VII-X) configuration is studied. A volume averaged beta limit of 5% is confirmed with a nearly optimal pressure profile using two methods to calculate ...
