The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) is currently being upgraded to operate at twice the toroidal field and plasma current (up to 1 T and 2 MA), with a second, more tangentially aimed neutral beam (NB) for current and rotation control, allo

Dynamics of seed magnetic island formation due to geometrically coupled perturbations

Autor: James D. Callen, Chris Hegna, R. J. LaHaye

Publikováno v: Physics of Plasmas. 6:130-136

Seed magnetic island formation due to a dynamically growing external source in toroidal confinement devices is modeled as an initial value, forced reconnection problem. For an external source whose amplitude grows on a time scale quickly compared to

The Tokamak Physics Experiment is designed to develop the scientific basis for a compact and continuously operating tokamak fusion reactor. It is based on an emerging class of tokamak operating modes, characterized by beta limits well in excess of th

Sustainment of low-q tokamak, ultra-low-q and reversed field pinch discharges in HBTX-1C with a resistive shell

The sustainment of ultra-low-q (ULQ) and reversed field pinch (RFP) discharges longer than the vertical field penetration time constant of the shell in the HBTX-IC device reveals new unstable modes arising from resistive shell instabilities. Their su

Recent experiments in the DIII-D tokamak [J. L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614 (2002)] show that the resistive wall mode (RWM) can be stabilized by smaller values of plasma rotation than previously reported. Stable discharges have been observed with bet
