Tearing-mode Stability Properties of a Field-reversed Ion Layer at Marginal Stability

Tearing-mode stability properties are investigated at marginal stability (u=0) for a rotating, nonrelativistic cylindrically symmetric ion layer immersed in an axial magnetic field B0 (r)^ = [B +Bs(r)]^ z Lz 0 Z Jz The analysis is carried out within the framework of a Vlasov-fluid model in which the electrons are described as a macroscopic, cold fluid, and the layer ions are described by the Vl...

Polarization mode dispersion probability distribution for arbitrary distances.

The probability distribution of the differential group delay (DGD) at any fiber length is determined by use of a physically reasonable model of the fiber birefringence. We show that if the fiber correlation length is of the same order as or larger than the beat length, the DGD distribution approaches a Maxwellian in roughly 30 fiber correlation lengths, corresponding to a couple of kilometers i...

On Diakoptics: Tearing an Arbitrary System*

Kron's techniques of tearing and if-partitioning are discussed as they apply to large linear systems of an arbitrary nature and tearing is discarded as inefficient. It is shown that decreasing the size of the sub-units in if-partitioning increases its efficiency; carried to the limit, this reduction results in a Gaussian elimination scheme. Finally, the optimum application of if-partitioning is...

Fast and Slow Nonlinear Tearing Mode Reconnection

1. Introduction. The standard theory of the tearing-mode evolution identifies three stages. The first is the linear stage described by the Furth–Killeen–Rosenbluth (FKR) theory [1]. During this stage, the island width W grows exponentially in time until it reaches the width of the resistive dissipation layer, ℓ η ∝ η 2/5 ∆ ′1/5 , where η is the resistivity and ∆ ′ is the instability parameter [...

Perturbative analysis of the tearing mode saturation

The saturation of the tearing mode in a plasma column is investigated in the framework of the resistive magnetohydrodynamics approximation. In particular, a perturbative procedure is adopted to evaluate the structure of the magnetic island in three relevant physical conditions, depending on the model for the evolution of the resistivity, which may be affected by the growth of the mode. In cylin...
