UW-CPTC 11-4R Model for pedestal structure

UW-CPTC 11-3R Pedestal Structure Model

Predictions are developed for gradients and profiles of the electron density and temperature in tokamak H-mode pedestals that are in transport quasi-equilibrium. They are based on assuming paleoclassical processes provide the irreducible minimum radial plasma transport and dominate in the steep gradient regions of pedestals. The predictions agree (within a factor of about two) with properties o...

UW-CPTC 10-6 A Model Of Pedestal Structure

Predictions are developed for the structure of plasma parameter profiles of H-mode pedestals in transport quasi-equilibrium in tokamak plasmas. They are based on assuming paleoclassical radial plasma transport processes dominate throughout the pedestal. The key physical process in this model is that the electron temperature gradient in the pedestal increases to the magnitude required for paleoc...

UW-CPTC 07-10 Ballooning filament growth in the intermediate nonlinear regime

In this work we develop a theory of ballooning instability in the intermediate nonlinear regime for general magnetic configurations including tokamaks. The evolution equations for plasma filament growth induced by the ballooning instability are derived accounting for the dominant nonlinear effects in an ideal MHD description. The intermediate nonlinear regime of ballooning modes is defined by t...
