Nonlinear error field response in the presence of plasma rotation and real frequencies due to favorable curvature
Cihan Akcay, John M. Finn, Andrew C. Cole +1
We present nonlinear resistive MHD simulations of the response of a rotating plasma to an error field when the plasma has weakly damped linear tearing modes (TM's), stabilized by p…
Electrostatically driven helical plasma state
Cihan Akçay, John M. Finn, Richard A. Nebel +1
A novel plasma state has been found in the presence of a uniform applied axial magnetic field in periodic cylindrical geometry. This state is driven electrostatically by helical el…
A Two-Fluid Study of Oblique Tearing Modes in a Force-Free Current Sheet
Cihan Akcay, William Daughton, Vyacheslav S. Lukin +1
Kinetic simulations have demonstrated that three-dimensional reconnection in collisionless regimes proceeds through the formation and interaction of magnetic flux ropes, which are…
