UW-CPTC 09-7 Drift-resistive-inertial ballooning modes in the HSX Stellarator

A linear stability theory of non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) ballooning modes is investigated using a two fluid model for electron-ion plasmas. Drift-resistive-inertial ballooning mode (DRIBM) eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are calculated for a variety of equilibria including axisymmetric shifted circular geometry (ŝ− model) as well as for three dimensional configurations relevant for the H...

Unified theory of resistive and inertial 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 (ŝ−α model) as well as for three dimensional configurations of interest relevan...

UW-CPTC 09-8 Unified theory of resistive and inertial ballooning modes in three-dimensional configurations

Analytic results for the stability of resistive ballooning modes (RBMs) and electron inertial ballooning modes are obtained using a two-scale analysis. This work generalizes previous calculations used for axisymmetric ŝ− geometry [R.H. Hastie, J.J. Ramos and F. Porcelli Phys.Plasmas 10, 4405 (2003)] to general three-dimensional geometry. A unified theory is developed for RBMs and inertial ballo...
