Multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamics with anisotropy and flow

Magnetohydrodynamic stability of a toroidal plasma's separatrix.

Large tokamaks capable of fusion power production such as ITER, should avoid large edge localized modes (ELMs), thought to be triggered by an ideal magnetohydrodynamic instability due to current at the plasma's separatrix boundary. Unlike analytical work in a cylindrical approximation, numerical work finds the modes are stable. The plasma's separatrix might stabilize modes, but makes analytical...

Magnetohydrodynamic Stability in a Levitated Dipole

Plasma confined by a magnetic dipole is stabilized, at low beta, by magnetic compressibility. The ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) requirements for stability against interchange and high-n ballooning modes are derived at arbitrary beta for a fusion grade laboratory plasma confined by a levitated dipole. A high beta MHD equilibrium is found numerically with a pressure profile near marginal stabil...

v. MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC EQUILIBRIUM AND STABILITY

The layout of the major components of the BPX poloidal field (PF) system is shown in Fig. 5.1. External to the toroidal field (TF) magnet and assembly are the seven updown symmetric pairs of primary PF-producing coils. These are called the external PF coils. They are labeled in pairs, with PFlU being the inner (small major radius) PF coil closest to and above the midplane and PFZU-PF7U proceedi...
