Numerical solutions of resistive finite-pressure magnetohydrodynamic equilibria for non-axisymmetric toroidal plasmas
Jian Zhang, Ping Zhu, Chris C. Hegna
A hybrid spectral/finite-element code is developed to numerically solve the resistive finite-pressure magnetohydrodynamic equilibria without the necessity of postulating nested mag…
Impurity radiation seeding of neoclassical tearing mode growth
Shiyong Zeng, Ping Zhu, Eric C. Howell
The physics of neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) is of great concern to the tokamak plasma stability and performance, especially in the burning plasma regime. Whereas a great deal ab…
Invariant regimes of Spencer scaling law for magnetic compression of rotating FRC plasma
Yiming Ma, Ping Zhu, Bo Rao +1
The scaling laws for the magnetic compression of a toroidally rotating field reversed configuration (FRC) have been investigated in this work. The magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simula…
Effects of zero and reversed magnetic shear on resistive wall modes in a limiter tokamak plasma
Sui Wan, Ping Zhu, Haolong Li +1
Advanced tokamak scenarios often feature equilibriums with zero and reversed magnetic shear. To isolate and investigate their impacts on the resistive wall mode (RWM) instability a…
Roles of non-axisymmetric perturbations in free drift vertical displacement events on EAST
Haolong Li, Ping Zhu, Hang Li +3
The safe operation of most tokamaks, especially the largen sized ones, rely on the feedback control of the vertical displacement events (VDEs). However, most these feedback control…
