Electromagnetic pressure-gradient-driven instabilities with moderate high mode numbers in tokamak plasmas
Yann Narbutt, Ksenia Aleynikova, Matthias Borchardt +6
Pressure gradient-driven instabilities are investigated in tokamak plasmas using the global gyrokinetic code EUTERPE emphasizing the role of moderate high mode numbers. As the norm…
Nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic modeling of ideal ballooning modes in high- Wendelstein 7-X plasmas
Yao Zhou, K. Aleynikova, Chang Liu +1
We present nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of high- Wendelstein 7-X plasmas using the stellarator extension of the M3D- code, building on the recent work th…
Enhanced performance in quasi-isodynamic max- stellarators with a turbulent particle pinch
G. G. Plunk, A. G. Goodman, P. Xanthopoulos +7
Recent stellarator reactor designs demonstrate mostly outward turbulent particle transport, which, without advanced fueling technology, inhibits the formation of density gradients…
Resonant theory of kinetic ballooning modes in general toroidal geometry
P. Mulholland, A. Zocco, M. C. L. Morren +4
The linear theory of the kinetic-ballooning-mode (KBM) instability is extended to capture a weakly-driven regime in general toroidal geometry where the destabilization is caused by…
