The Role of Edge Resonant Magnetic Perturbations in Edge-Localized-Mode Suppression and Density Pump-out in low-collisionality DIII-D Plasmas

Q. M. Hu, R. Nazikian, B. A. Grierson +3

Two-fluid nonlinear MHD simulations using the TM1 code demonstrate that the formation of magnetic islands at the top and bottom of the H-mode pedestal, together with the strong scr…
