Large mode-number tearing and twisting modes

The Physics of Fluids, 1979
The radial width, w, of the boundary layer associated with tearing and twisting modes is always much smaller than equilibrium length scales. However, for the large mode number perturbations which seem particularly relevant to anomalous tokamak radial transport, the poloidal wavelength, k⊥−1, can become short enough to cast doubt on previous analyses ...

Unified theory of tearing modes

The Physics of Fluids, 1979
A unified theory of tearing modes in slab geometry is presented. All known results are readily derived from our general dispersion relations. Several new results are derived and discussed, and the inter-relatonship between various tearing modes is established.

Collisionless m=1 tearing mode

Physical Review Letters, 1991
The instability of a magnetically confined plasma against macroscopic modes is analyzed in collisionless regimes where magnetic reconnection occurs because of finite electron inertia and the ion gyroradius ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\rho}}}_{\mathit{i}}$ replaces the skin depth d as the width of the mode boundary layer.

Drift-tearing modes in a tokamak plasma

Nuclear Fusion, 1978
The drift-tearing instability for m ≥ 2 is re-examined, by using two-fluid equations in a cylindrical tokamak plasma. Strong deviations from the previously given analytic dispersion relation are found in the most interesting regime, ω* > γT, owing to a non-local structure of the drift mode.

Tearing mode in the cylindrical tokamak

The Physics of Fluids, 1973
Detailed computational results are presented on the stability and radial distribution of linear tearing modes in cylindrical tokamaks of various radial profiles. In the case of a skin-current profile, a “double tearing mode”, with two points of discontinuity in the radial magnetic field perturbation is found.
