Full toroidal plasma response to externally applied nonaxisymmetric magnetic fields
The plasma response to resonant magnetic perturbation RMP and nonresonant perturbation fields is computed within a linear, full toroidal, single-fluid resistive magnetohydrodynamic framework. The response of resonant harmonics depends sensitively on the plasma resistivity and on the toroidal rotation. The response of nonresonant harmonics is not sensitive to most of the plasma parameters, excep...
متن کاملImproved evolution equations for magnetic island chains in toroidal pinch plasmas subject to externally applied resonant magnetic perturbations
An improved set of island evolution equations is derived that incorporates the latest advances in MHD ~magnetohydrodynamical! theory. These equations describe the resistive/viscous-MHD dynamics of a nonlinear magnetic island chain, embedded in a toroidal pinch plasma, in the presence of a programmable, externally applied, resonant magnetic perturbation. A number of interesting example calculati...
متن کاملRole of Singular Layers in the Plasma Response to Resonant Magnetic Perturbations
The response of an H-mode plasma to magnetic perturbations that are resonant in the edge is evaluated using a fluid model. With two exceptions, the plasma rotation suppresses the formation of magnetic islands, holding their widths to less than a tenth of those predicted by the vacuum approximation. The two exceptions are at the foot of the pedestal, where the plasma becomes more resistive, and ...
متن کاملHigh-Speed imaging of the plasma response to resonant magnetic perturbations in HBT-EP
A Phantom v7.3 fast digital camera was used to study visible light fluctuations in the High Beta Tokamak–Extended Pulse (HBT–EP). This video data is the first to be used to analyze and understand the behavior of long wavelength kink perturbations in a wall-stabilized tokamak. The light was mostly comprised of Dα 656 nm light. Profiles of the plasma light at the midplane were hollow with a radia...
متن کاملMHD Simulation of Resonant Magnetic Perturbations
Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMP) have been found effective in suppressing ELMs in the DIII-D experiment [1, 2] Simulations with the M3D code indicate that plasma rotation has an essential effect on the RMP. When rotation is below a threshold, the RMP magnetic field is amplified above the vacuum field, and acquires a helical structure. The magnetic field is stochastic in the outer part of t...
