On the vertical and horizontal transverse oscillations of curved coronal loops [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Kink oscillations of curved coronal loops with the density varying along the loop are studied in the thin tube approximation. The equilibrium magnetic field is assumed to be potential, and the field potential and flux function are used as curvilinear ...

On the validity of nonlinear Alfvén resonance in space plasmas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Aims. In the approximation of linear dissipative magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), it can be shown that driven MHD waves in magnetic plasmas with high Reynolds number exhibit a near resonant behaviour if the frequency of the wave becomes equal to the local ...

Toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes observed in low power JET deuterium–tritium plasmas

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
The Joint European Torus recently carried out an experimental campaign using a plasma consisting of both deuterium (D) and tritium (T). We observed a high-frequency mode using a reflectometer and an interferometer in a D-T plasma heated with low power ...

Nonlinear saturation of reverse shear Alfvén eigenmodes induced by kinetic electrons

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2022
A strong nonlinear saturation mechanism of the reverse shear Alfvén eigenmode (RSAE) induced by thermal electrons is observed in gyrokinetic ${\delta}f$ particle-in-cell simulation.

Multi-mode Alfv\'enic Fast Particle Transport and Losses: Numerical vs. Experimental Observation

open access: yes, 2013
In many discharges at ASDEX Upgrade fast particle losses can be observed due to Alfv\'enic gap modes, Reversed Shear Alfv\'en Eigenmodes or core-localized Beta Alfv\'en Eigenmodes.

Comparison of methods for numerical calculation of continuum damping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Continuum resonance damping is an important factor in determining the stability of certain global modes in fusion plasmas. A number of analytic and numerical approaches have been developed to compute this damping, particularly in the case of the ...

Rapid dissipation in a current sheet driven by footpoints motions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Context.Wave energy dissipation by viscous and resistive damping in magnetic coronal plasmas is addressed. A two and one half dimensional, line-tied magnetic channel is considered whose footpoints are disturbed by buffeting motions of the photosphere ...

Broadband Alfvénic excitation correlated to turbulence level in the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator plasmas

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
During the first operational phase (OP1) of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator, poloidal magnetic field fluctuations, $\dot{B}_{\theta}$ , were measured in several different plasma scenarios with a system of Mirnov coils.
