On 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 کاملNonlinear 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 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 کاملBallooning optimized pressure profiles in toroidal Heliacs
The local 3-D ideal MHD stability properties for two different H-1 Heliac configurations with values of magnetic well of 1.3 and 3.2%, respectively, have been investigated. The pressure profile has been determined that approaches marginal stability to 3-D ballooning modes almost uniformly across the plasma radius for each case. In spite of the difference in well depths, the p limits for both co...
