Experimental plasma-edge gradients in JET during the edge-localized-mode (ELM) free H-mode are examined for evidence of the presence and location of the transport barrier region inside the magnetic separatrix. High spatial resolution data in electron densi ...
An interpretation of non-standard, central MHD events in the TCV tokamak during localized ECRH is presented. It is shown that the non-standard behaviour is a consequence of specific features in the electron temperature profile produced when ECRH power is d ...
Stability limits of highly elongated, D-shaped plasmas have been measured in the TCV (tokamak a configuration variable) tokamak. It is found that the plasma current is limited by kink-type disruptions, preceded by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) mode activity. T ...
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 ...
A survey of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) properties of the quasi-axisymmetric configuration MHH2 has been performed using a suite of MHD codes: the PIES code at Princeton for studying loss of equilibrium flux surfaces; three-dimensional Mercier and balloo ...
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 ...
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. ...
Stability limits for the internal kink mode are calculated for tokamaks with different current profiles and plasma cross-sections using ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The maximum stable poloidal beta at the q = 1 surface (beta(p)) is sensitive to the cu ...
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 ...
Development and results of the MHD description of stellarators over the past half-decade are reviewed. Major events were the acceleration of convergence of those equilibrium codes which assume nested surfaces, the advent of equilibrium codes which do not a ...
