Nonlinear axisymmetric resistive magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with toroidal flow
The equilibrium of a resistive axisymmetric plasma with purely toroidal flow surrounded by a conductor is investigated within the framework of the nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic theory. It is proved that a) the poloidal current density vanishes and b) apart from an idealized case the pressure profile should vanish on the plasma boundary. For the cases of isothermal magnetic surfaces, isentropic ...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamics equilibria with toroidal and poloidal flow
In the present work, the effects of flow on tokamak equilibria are investigated, focusing in particular on the effects of poloidal flows. It is shown that discountinuous transonic equilibria with a pedestal structure can be obtained for relatively low values of the poloidal velocity. Equilibria with poloidal flow of the order of the poloidal Alfvén speed are shown to develop inverted Shafranov ...
متن کاملTokamak equilibria with non-parallel flow in a triangularity-deformed axisymmetric toroidal coordinate system
We consider a generalized Grad-Shafranov equation (GGSE) in a triangularity-deformed axisymmetric toroidal coordinate system and solve it numerically for the generic case of ITER-like and JET-like equilibria with non-parallel flow. It turns out that increase of the triangularity improves confinement by leading to larger values of the toroidal beta and the safety factor. This result is supported...
متن کاملOn resistive magnetohydrodynamic equilibria of an axisymmetric toroidal plasma with flow
It is shown that the magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium states of an axisymmetric toroidal plasma with finite resistivity and flows parallel to the magnetic field are governed by a second-order partial differential equation for the poloidal magnetic flux function ψ coupled with a Bernoulli type equation for the plasma density (which are identical in form to the corresponding ideal MHD equilibrium ...
متن کاملHigh-b equilibria in tokamaks with toroidal flow
We extend existing 2-D analytical high-b equilibrium solutions obtained by Cowley et al. [Phys. Fluids B 3, 2066 (1991)] and Hsu et al. [Phys. Plasmas 3, 266 (1996)] to the case of toroidally flowing plasma, assuming ideal magnetohydrodynamics and isothermal magnetic surfaces. Invoking the ordering bq 2 and M /q2 , we solve the boundary layer problem, re-obtaining the static solution in the zer...
