Drift kinetic theory of the NTM magnetic islands in a finite beta general geometry tokamak plasma

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2022
In (Imada et al 2019 Nucl. Fusion 59 046016 and references therein) a new 4D drift kinetic nonlinear theory, valid in the limit of a low beta, small inverse aspect ratio, circular cross section, toroidal geometry, to describe the plasma response to the ...

Coalescence of Magnetic Islands

open access: yesThe Physics of Fluids, 1979
A detailed numerical analysis has been conducted of the instability described by Finn and Kaw in which parallel currents in neighboring islands tend to coalesce into larger units. The existence of this coalescence instability in the ideal magnetohydrodynamic limit is confirmed, but no evidence is found for a threshold in island width. The linear growth

Forced Magnetic Reconnection in Helical Plasmas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Magnetic islands excited by resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) in helical plasmas are investigated. A Rutherford-type equation is coupled with the time evolution equation of the radial electric field associated with the neoclassical particle ...

Drift kinetic theory of neoclassical tearing modes in tokamak plasmas: polarisation current and its effect on magnetic island threshold physics

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
A nonlinear 4-dimensional drift island theory derived in (Imada et al 2019 Nucl. Fusion 59 046016 and references therein) provides qualitative predictions of the plasma response to a stationary neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) magnetic island in a low ...

Mineralogy and Magnetic Properties of Basaltic Substrate Soils: Kaho'olawe and Big Island, Hawaii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Magnetic behavior of soils can seriously hamper the performance of geophysical sensors. Currently, we have little understanding of the types of minerals responsible for the magnetic behavior, as well as their distribution in space and evolution through ...

Coalescence instability of magnetic islands [PDF]

open access: yesThe Physics of Fluids, 1977
The stability of a periodic magnetic island structure using the ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations has been investigated. An instability is found which describes the tendency toward coalescence of parallel currents in the neighboring islands. It is expected that this instability will proceed at a fast hydromagnetic rate as long as the forces driving ...

The onset distribution of rotating tearing modes and its consequences on the stability of high-confinement-mode plasmas in DIII-D

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
Analysis of a multi-scenario database of over 13 000 DIII-D H-mode discharges shows that the $m,n = 2,1$ magnetic islands are dominantly pressure gradient driven, stochastically triggered non-linear instabilities at all edge safety factor ( $q_\text{95}$

Radial localization of electron temperature pedestal and ELM-like events using ECE measurements at Wendelstein 7-X [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2023
A magnetic configuration scan was performed at Wendelstein 7-X stellarator by varying the rotational transform to analyze the plasma confinement for magnetic configurations with different edge magnetic island locations and sizes.
