Importance of theory, computation and predictive modeling in the US magnetic fusion energy strategic plan
Fatima Ebrahimi, Gary Staebler, Paul Bonoli +5
Based on the community input at the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Madison and Austin workshops in July and December 2017, respectively, this whitepaper was prepared and submit…
Vacuum Solution for Solov'ev's Equilibrium Configuration in Tokamaks
Tao Xu, Richard Fitzpatrick, Francois L. Waelbroeck
In this work, we have revisited the Solov'ev analytical solution for a tokamak equilibrium. We point out that the vacuum solution in the Solov'ev formulation is inapplicable, since…
Two-fluid magnetic island dynamics in slab geometry: II - Islands interacting with resistive walls or static external resonant magnetic perturbations
Richard Fitzpatrick, Francois L Waelbroeck
The dynamics of a propagating magnetic island interacting with a resistive wall or a static external magnetic perturbation is investigated using two-fluid, drift-MHD theory in slab…
Two-fluid magnetic island dynamics in slab geometry: I - Isolated islands
Richard Fitzpatrick, Francois L. Waelbroeck
A set of reduced, 2-D, two-fluid, drift-MHD equations is derived. Using these equations, a complete and fully self-consistent solution is obtained for an isolated magnetic island p…
