Observations of Heteroclinic Bifurcations in Resistive MHD Simulations of the Plasma Response to Resonant Magnetic Perturbations

T. E. Evans, W. Wu, G. P. Canal +1

A new class of static magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) magnetic island bifurcations is identified in rotating spherical tokamak plasmas during single- and two-fluid resistive MHD simulati…
