Nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic modeling of ideal ballooning modes in high-$\beta$ Wendelstein 7-X plasmas

Yao Zhou, K. Aleynikova, Chang Liu +1

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