Influences of B Contribution and Parallel Inertial Term of Energetic Particles on MHD-Kinetic Hybrid Simulations: A Case Study of the 1/1 Internal Kink Mode
H. X. Zhang, H. W. Zhang, Z. W. Ma +1
The magnetohydrodynamic-kinetic (MHD-kinetic) hybrid model [Park et. al., 1992] has been widely applied in studying energetic particles (EPs) problems in fusion plasmas for past de…

Benign saturation of ideal ballooning instability in a high-performance stellarator
Yao Zhou, K. Aleynikova, Chang Liu +1
To examine the robustness of the designed 5% -limit for high-performance operation in the W7-X stellarator, we undertake nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of press…

Saturation of fishbone instability through zonal flows driven by energetic particle transport in tokamak plasmas
G. Brochard, C. Liu, X. Wei +17
Gyrokinetic and kinetic-MHD simulations are performed for the fishbone instability in the DIII-D discharge #178631, chosen for validation of first-principles simulations to predict…
