Semi-Implicit Stellarator Magnetohydrodynamics with Nodal Spectral Elements
C. R. Sovinec, S. A. Patil, J. V. Cauilan
Nonlinear time-dependent computation of macroscale dynamics in stellarators is motivated by laboratory results showing the possibility of robust operation in conditions where magne…
Resistive Hose modes in Tokamak Runaway Electron Beams
A. P. Sainterme, C. R. Sovinec
Beams of energetic runaway electrons are generated during disruptions in tokamaks, and fluid models are used to study their effects on macroscale dynamics. Linear computations of a…
Laminar and Turbulent Plasmoid Ejection in a Laboratory Parker Spiral Current Sheet
Ethan E. Peterson, Douglass A. Endrizzi, Michael Clark +8
Quasi-periodic plasmoid formation at the tip of magnetic streamer structures is observed to occur in experiments on the Big Red Ball as well as in simulations of these experiments…
3D simulations of vertical displacement events in tokamaks: A benchmark of M3D-C, NIMROD and JOREK
F. J. Artola, C. R. Sovinec, S. C. Jardin +3
In recent years, the nonlinear 3D magnetohydrodynamic codes JOREK, M3D-C and NIMROD developed the capability of modelling realistic 3D vertical displacement events (VDEs) inclu…
Magnetic Reconnection with Asymmetry in the Outflow Direction
N. A. Murphy, C. R. Sovinec, P. A. Cassak
Magnetic reconnection with asymmetry in the outflow direction occurs in the Earth's magnetotail, coronal mass ejections, flux cancellation events, astrophysical disks, spheromak me…
Ideal Internal Kink Modes in a Line-tied Screw Pinch
Yi-Min Huang, Ellen G. Zweibel, Carl R. Sovinec
It is well known that the radial displacement of the internal kink mode in a periodic screw pinch has a steep jump at the resonant surface where …
