Two-fluid model of rf current condensation in magnetic islands
S. Jin, A. H. Reiman, N. J. Fisch
The stabilization of tearing modes with rf waves is subject to a nonlinear effect, termed rf current condensation, that has the potential to greatly enhance and localize current dr…
Disruption Avoidance via RF Current Condensation in Magnetic Islands Produced by Off-Normal Events
A. H. Reiman, N. Bertelli, P. T. Bonoli +5
As tokamaks are designed and built with increasing levels of stored energy in the plasma, disruptions become increasingly dangerous. It has been reported that 95% of the disruption…
Coupled heat pulse propagation in two fluid plasmas
S. Jin, A. H. Reiman, N. J. Fisch
Because of the large mass differences between electrons and ions, the heat diffusion in electron-ion plasmas exhibits more complex behavior than simple heat diffusion found in typi…
Anomalous wave reflection from the interface of two strongly nonlinear granular media
V. F. Nesterenko, C. Daraio, E. B. Herbold +1
Granular materials exhibit a strongly nonlinear behaviour affecting the propagation of information in the medium. Dynamically self-organized strongly nonlinear solitary waves are t…
