Fast and Slow Nonlinear Tearing Mode Reconnection
1. Introduction. The standard theory of the tearing-mode evolution identifies three stages. The first is the linear stage described by the Furth–Killeen–Rosenbluth (FKR) theory [1]. During this stage, the island width W grows exponentially in time until it reaches the width of the resistive dissipation layer, ℓ η ∝ η 2/5 ∆ ′1/5 , where η is the resistivity and ∆ ′ is the instability parameter [...
متن کاملNonlinear tearing mode in inhomogeneous plasma: I. Unmagnetized islands
A theory of the nonlinear growth and propagation of magnetic islands in the semi-collisional regime is presented. The theory includes the effects of finite electron temperature gradients and uses a fluid model with cold ions in slab geometry to describe islands that are unmagnetized in the sense that their width is less than ρs, the ion Larmor radius calculated with the electron temperature. Th...

متن کاملAnalytic theory of the nonlinear m = 1 tearing mode
Numerical studies show that the m = 1 tearing mode continues to grow exponentially well into the nonlinear regime, in contrast with the slow, "Rutherford," growth of m > 1 modes. A single helicity calculation is presented which generalizes that of Rutherford [Phys. Fluids 16, 1903 ( 1973) ] to the case when the constant-t/! approximation is invalid. As in that theory, the parallel current becom...
متن کاملStudy of the Resistive Wall Mode in Cylindrical Geometry
The problem of the resistive wall mode (RWM) is studied in cylindrical geometry and compared to experimental observations from HBT-EP tokamak. In HBT-EP, a dynamical RWM plasma response is studied by applying static, rotating and phase-flip external magnetic perturbations. The plasma response to the applied perturbation is included via the permeability matrix, P = 1/(−s+iα). Here, s is the norm...
