Extended magnetohydrodynamic simulations of field reversed configuration formation and sustainment with rotating magnetic field current drive

open access: closedPhysics of Plasmas, 2010
Three-dimensional simulations of field reversed configuration (FRC) formation and sustainment with rotating magnetic field (RMF) current drive have been performed with the NIMROD code [C. R. Sovinec et al., J. Comput. Phys. 195, 355 (2004)]. The Hall term is a zeroth order effect with strong coupling between Fourier components, and recent enhancements ...

Calculating electron cyclotron current drive stabilization of resistive tearing modes in a nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic model

open access: closedPhysics of Plasmas, 2010
A model which incorporates the effects of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) into the magnetohydrodynamic equations is implemented in the NIMROD code [C. R. Sovinec et al., J. Comput. Phys. 195, 355 (2004)] and used to investigate the effect of ECCD injection on the stability, growth, and dynamical behavior of magnetic islands associated with ...

A magnetohydrodynamic model of rotating magnetic field current drive in a field-reversed configuration

open access: closedPhysics of Plasmas, 2000
A numerical model has been developed to study the use of a Rotating Magnetic Field (RMF) as an electron current drive mechanism for the formation and sustainment of a field-reversed configuration (FRC). Previous models assumed a fixed ion model, but here a full two-dimensional (r-θ) magnetohydrodynamic model has been developed.

Instabilities of ideal magnetohydrodynamics mode and neoclassical tearing mode stabilization by electron cyclotron current drive for EHL-2 spherical torus

open access: closedPlasma Science and Technology
Abstract The next generation fusion device listed on ENN’s fusion roadmap, named as (ENN He-Long) EHL-2, is under both physics and engineering designs. The instabilities of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) mode and neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) stabilized by electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) for EHL-2’s two typical operation ...

Numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations of expanding flux ropes: Influence of boundary driving

Physics of Plasmas, 2013
The expansion dynamics of a magnetized, current-carrying plasma arch is studied by means of time-dependent ideal MHD simulations. Initial conditions model the setup used in recent laboratory experiments that in turn simulate coronal loops [J. Tenfelde et al., Phys. Plasmas 19, 072513 (2012); E. V. Stenson and P. M. Bellan, Plasma Phys.

Transverse dynamics of dispersive Alfvén waves. II. Driving of a reduced magnetohydrodynamic flow

Physics of Plasmas, 2002
The nonlinear dynamics resulting from transverse and quasi-transverse instabilities of a finite-amplitude dispersive Alfvén wave propagating along an ambient magnetic field is studied by direct numerical simulations of the three-dimensional Hall-magnetohydrodynamic (Hall-MHD) equations.

Observation of Magnetohydrodynamics Instabilities in Ion Berstein Wave and Lower-Hybrid-Current Driving Synergetic Discharges on HT-7 Tokamak

Chinese Physics Letters, 2004
The normalized performance indicated by the product of βNH89>2 was achieved by a combination of the lower hybrid current driving (LHCD) and the ion Berstein wave (IBW) heating in the HT-7 tokamak. More than 80% of the plasma current was sustained by the LHCD and the bootstrap current. Large edge pressure gradients were observed. The magnetohydrodynamic

Magnetohydrodynamical Winds from an Accretion Disk: Driving by the Magnetic Pressure and Tension of Toroidal Magnetic Fields

Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 1991
Abstract In order to describe the magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) winds/jets from a geometrically thin accretion disk with rotation, MHD equations are written in orthogonal curvilinear coordinates with axes parallel and perpendicular to the streamlines, respectively.
