Two-fluid magnetic island dynamics in slab geometry: I - Isolated islands
A set of reduced, 2-D, two-fluid, drift-MHD (magnetohydrodynamical) equations is derived. Using these equations, a complete and fully selfconsistent solution is obtained for an isolated magnetic island propagating through a slab plasma with uniform but different ion and electron fluid velocities. The ion and electron fluid flow profiles around the island are uniquely determined, and are everywh...
متن کاملTwo-fluid magnetic island dynamics in slab geometry. II. Islands interacting with resistive walls or resonant magnetic perturbations
The dynamics of a propagating magnetic island interacting with a resistive wall or an externally generated, resonant magnetic perturbation is investigated using two-fluid, drift-smagnetohydrodynamicald sMHDd theory in slab geometry. In both cases, the island equation of motion is found to take exactly the same form as that predicted by single-fluid MHD theory. Three ion polarization terms are f...
متن کاملTwo-fluid magnetic island dynamics in slab geometry: Determination of the island phase velocity
The physics which determines the phase-velocity of a comparatively wide, isolated, magnetic island, formed as a result of a nonlinear tearing instability in a magnetic confinement device relying on the existence of nested magnetic flux surfaces, is investigated using a two-fluid model in slab geometry. It is found that the phase velocity is fixed by momentum transport across the magnetic flux s...
متن کاملTwo-fluid magnetic island dynamics in slab geometry: III - Influence of drift-wave resonances on island propagation
Previous research which analyses the dynamics of a “subsonic”, constantψ, magnetic island propagating through a two-fluid, drift-MHD (magnetohydrodynanical) plasma in slab geometry is extended to cover “supersonic” islands. In the subsonic limit, the phase-velocity of an isolated island is simply the (perpendicular) viscosity weighted mean of the unperturbed ion and electron fluid velocities. H...
متن کاملEffect of drift-acoustic waves on magnetic island stability in slab geometry
A mathematical formalism is developed for calculating the ion polarization term in the Rutherford island width evolution equation in the presence of drift-acoustic waves. The calculation is fully nonlinear, includes both ion and electron diamagnetic effects, as well as ion compressibility, but is performed in slab geometry. Magnetic islands propagating in a certain range of phase velocities are...
