Resistive wall mode induced disruptions in an advanced tokamak
Sui Wan, Ping Zhu
Resistive wall mode is one of the leading causes for tokamak disruptions above the no-wall limit. This paper presents nonlinear three-dimensional resistive MHD simulations o…
Effects of neoclassical toroidal viscosity on plasma flow evolution in the presence of resonant magnetic perturbation in a tokamak
Fangyuan Ma, Ping Zhu, Jiaxing Liu
Effects of neoclassical toroidal viscosity (NTV) on plasma flow evolution in the presence of resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) in a tokamak have been evaluated using a cylindric…
Weak and reversed magnetic shear effects on internal kink and fishbone modes
Weikang Cai, Ping Zhu, Zhi Zhang +2
Advanced tokamak scenarios often feature weak or reversed magnetic shear configurations. In this study, the hybrid kinetic-MHD model implemented in the NIMROD code is used to inves…
Auroral signatures of ballooning instability and plasmoid formation processes in the near-Earth magnetotail
Ping Zhu, Jun Liang, Jiaxing Liu +2
The nonlinear development of ballooning instability and the subsequently induced plasmoid formation in the near-Earth magnetotail demonstrated in MHD simulations has been proposed…
