Ballooning theory is an asymptotic method for treating modes with short wavelength across the magnetic field lines but essentially no phase variation along the lines. The latter constraint leads to problems with maintaining the physically required poloidal ...
The general control of tokamak plasmas has evolved considerably over the past few years with an increase in the plasma pulse length, an increase in the control of additional heating and fueling, and an increase in the degree to which the shape of the plasm ...
Active feedback stabilization of the vertical instability is studied for highly elongated tokamak plasmas (2 less-than-or-equal-to kappa less-than-or-equal-to 3) and evaluated in particular for the TCV configuration. It is shown that the feedback can stron ...
The paper presents the KINX code for computing linear ideal MHD growth rates and eigenvectors of axisymmetric plasmas surrounded by a vacuum layer and a conducting wall. Plasma equilibrium magnetic surfaces are assumed to be nested either in the whole plas ...
Ion temperature gradient (ITG) -related instabilities are studied in tokamak-like plasmas with the help of a new global eigenvalue code. Ions are modeled in the frame of gyrokinetic theory so that finite Larmor radius effects of these particles are retaine ...
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 ...
The existence and dynamics of vortical structure in both homogeneous and inhomogeneous systems will be discussed. In particular the dynamics of monopolar and dipolar vortices in a plasma with nonuniform density and in a rotating fluid with varying Coriolis ...
Test-particle measurements of plasma cross-field ion transport show a dramatic change associated with the presence of sheared plasma flow parallel to a fixed magnetic field. Experimental conditions for enhanced transport are consistent with a simple model ...
The effects of plasma deformability on the feedback stabilization of axisymmetric modes of tokamak plasmas are studied. It is seen that plasmas with strongly shaped cross-sections have unstable motion different from a rigid shift. Furthermore, the placemen ...
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 ...
