Single-helicity states in compressible magnetohydrodynamics simulations of the reversed-field pinch with nonuniform resistivity
Using a magnetohydrodynamics numerical code that includes the description of density and pressure evolution and anisotropic thermal conductivity, it is shown that single-helicity states in the reversed-field pinch (RFP) configuration are obtained when the resistivity has a radial profile sharply increasing close to the wall. In contrast, a uniform resistivity produces multiple-helicity states. ...
متن کاملMode locking in reversed-field pinch experiments.
The MHD mode trajectory in the Madison Symmetric Torus reversed-field pinch has been found to obey the sine-Gordon equation. Corresponding to experiment, a perturbation analysis predicts the locations of mode locking to be at the vacuum chamber poloidal and/or toroidal gaps. The mode's energy dissipates when it locks, as shown by a decaying spiral phase-plane trajectory. Unlocked modes travel a...
متن کاملMicrotearing modes in reversed field pinch plasmas.
In the reversed field pinch RFX-mod strong electron temperature gradients develop when the single-helical-axis regime is achieved. Gyrokinetic calculations show that in the region of the strong temperature gradients microtearing instabilities are the dominant turbulent mechanism acting on the ion Larmor radius scale. The quasilinear evaluation of the electron thermal conductivity is in good agr...
متن کاملCalculation of resistive magnetohydrodynamics and two-fluid tearing modes by example of reversed-field-pinch-like plasma
An algorithm suitable for numerical solution of linear eigenmode problems in resistive magnetohydrodynamics MHD and two-fluid MHD models without prior approximations is presented. For these plasma models, sets of equations suitable for numerical solution are derived and the details of the algorithm of this solution are given. The algorithm is general and is suitable for solution of boundary eig...
