Nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic modeling of ideal ballooning modes in high-${\hat{I}}^2$ Wendelstein 7-X plasmas

Yao Zhou, K. Aleynikova, Chang Liu +1

We present nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of high-${\hat{I}}^2$ Wendelstein 7-X plasmas using the stellarator extension of the M3D-$C^1$ code, building on the recent work t…
