Nonlinear dynamics of magnetic islands with curvature and pressure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Curvature and finite pressure are known to have a dramatic influence on linear magnetic tearing stability. An analytic theory of the nonlinear resistive growth of magnetic islands in tokamaks that includes the interchange driving term in presented here. A Grad-Shafranov equation to describe the magnetohydrodynamic (MHO) eqUilibrium of thin islands is derived. The resistive evolution of these islands is then obtained. Interchange effects are found to become progressively less important with increasing island width.

Nonlinear dynamics of magnetic islands imbedded in small-scale turbulence.
The nonlinear dynamics of magnetic tearing islands imbedded in a pressure gradient driven turbulence is investigated numerically in a reduced magnetohydrodynamic model. The study reveals regimes where the linear and nonlinear phases of the tearing instability are controlled by the properties of the pressure gradient. In these regimes, the interplay between the pressure and the magnetic flux det...
متن کاملDrift-tearing magnetic islands in tokamak plasmas
A systematic fluid theory of nonlinear magnetic island dynamics in conventional low, large aspect-ratio, circular cross-section tokamak plasmas is developed using an extended magnetohydrodynamics model that incorporates diamagnetic flows, ion gyroviscosity, fast parallel electron heat transport, the ion sound wave, the drift wave, and average magnetic field-line curvature. The model excludes th...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics of magnetic islands in presence of interchange turbulence
In this work, we study the interaction between a tearing mode and a pressure gradient instability (resistive interchange) by solving reduced MHD equations numerically. The numerical study shows existence of regimes where thetearing instability is driven by the pressure gradient. An interplay between the pressure and the magnetic flux controls the dynamics of the saturated state. A secondary ins...

In this research, some more applicable ferrofluids are produced and their mechanical specifications are measured, experimentally. Also, their treatments in the ventilated cavity geometry are assessed numerically. The magnetite nanoparticles are produced by a chemical combination of Fe2+ and Fe3+ with NH3. In order to solve the nanoparticles in the new mediums, a...
متن کاملHybrid Fuzzy-PID Application in Boilers to Obtain Optimum Efficiency
Many real time processes have complex, uncertain and nonlinear dynamics. Boilers are nonlinear, time varying, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, whose states generally vary with operating conditions. The major problem in controlling that system is that its drum water pressure and steam flow dynamics include an integrator that results a critically stable behavior. Conventional controller p...
