Control of Transport-Barrier Relaxations by Resonant Magnetic Perturbations
Transport-barrier relaxation oscillations in the presence of resonant magnetic perturbations are investigated using three-dimensional global fluid turbulence simulations from first principles at the edge of a tokamak. It is shown that resonant magnetic perturbations have a stabilizing effect on these relaxation oscillations and that this effect is due ...

Suppression of Runaway Electrons by Resonant Magnetic Perturbations in TEXTOR Disruptions [PDF]
The generation of runaway electrons in the international fusion experiment ITER disruptions can lead to severe damage at plasma facing components. Massive gas injection might inhibit the generation process, but the amount of gas needed can affect, e.g., vacuum systems.

Effect of resonant magnetic perturbations on particle confinement [PDF]
The effect of externally applied resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) on plasma particle transport is investigated based on two fluid equations. It is found that, depending on the frequency and direction of plasma rotation, the RMP of a moderate amplitude can either increase or decrease the plasma density gradient around the corresponding rational ...

Mechanism of Edge Localized Mode Mitigation by Resonant Magnetic Perturbations [PDF]
A possible mechanism of edge localized modes (ELMs) mitigation by resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) is proposed based on the results of nonlinear resistive magnetohydrodynamic modeling using the jorek code, realistic JET-like plasma parameters and an RMP spectrum of JET error-field correction coils (EFCC) with a main toroidal number n=2 were used ...

Direct effects of the resonant magnetic perturbation on turbulent transport [PDF]
Abstract The effects of the resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) on the turbulent transport are analyzed in the framework of the test particle approach using a semi-analytical method. The model includes particle collisions. The influence of the RMPs on plasma confinement is determined as function turbulence parameters and of ...

Plasma response impact on RMP divertor footprint modeling for KSTAR
The striation pattern of heat loads on the divertor targets is determined by the plasma response to external resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) applied for suppression of edge localized modes (ELMs).

Access to stable, high pressure tokamak pedestals using local electron cyclotron current drive
Experiments on the DIII-D tokamak demonstrate that edge localized mode (ELM) stability can be manipulated using localized electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) in conjunction with resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs).

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