Non-ideal MHD ballooning modes in three-dimensional configurations
A linear stability theory of non-ideal MHD ballooning modes is investigated using a two fluid model for arbitrary three-dimensional electron-ion plasmas. Resistive-inertia ballooning mode (RIBM) eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are calculated for a variety of equilibria including axisymmetric shifted circular geometry (s − α model) and configurations of interest to the Helically Symmetric Stellar...
متن کاملAnderson-localized ballooning modes in general toroidal plasmas
Ballooning instabilities are investigated in three-dimensional magnetic toroidal plasma confinement systems with low global magnetic shear. The lack of any continuous symmetry in the plasma equilibrium can lead to these modes being localized along the field lines by a process similar to Anderson localization. This produces a multibranched local eigenvalue dependence, where each branch correspon...
متن کاملModel for current-driven edge-localized modes.
Edge-localized modes (ELMs) are cyclic disturbances in the outer region of tokamak plasmas that are influential in determining present and future tokamak performance. In this Letter, we outline an approach to modeling ELMs in which we envisage toroidal peeling modes initiating a Taylor relaxation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 33, 1139 (1974)10.1103/PhysRevLett.33.1139] of a tokamak outer region plasma. Rel...
متن کاملActive control of edge localized modes by radio frequency waves
The effect of radio frequency wave driven torque on edge localized mode !ELM" activity is studied. It is shown that the radio frequency driven torque causes transition of type I giant ELMs to the benign grassy ELM behavior. The efficiency of this process scales directly with minor radius and inversely with the plasma density. It is argued that the technique of active ELM control will be efficie...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal structure of edge-localized modes.
This Letter provides information on the spatial and temporal structure of periodic eruptions observed in magnetically confined laboratory fusion plasmas, called edge-localized modes (ELMs), and highlights similarities with solar eruptions. Taken together, the observations presented in this Letter provide strong evidence for ELMs being associated with a filamentlike structure. These filaments ar...
