Explosive Ballooning Flux Tubes in Tokamaks
C J Ham, S C Cowley, G Brochard +1
Tokamak stability to, potentially explosive, `ballooning' displacements of elliptical magnetic flux tubes is examined in large aspect ratio equilibrium. Above a critical pressure g…

Explosive Instability and Erupting Flux Tubes in a Magnetised Plasma Atmosphere
S. C. Cowley, B. Cowley, S. A. Henneberg +1
The eruption of multiple flux tubes in a magnetised plasma atmosphere is proposed as a mechanism for explosive release of energy in plasmas. Linearly stable isolated flux tubes are…

Zero-Turbulence Manifold in a Toroidal Plasma
E. G. Highcock, A. A. Schekochihin, S. C. Cowley +4
Sheared toroidal flows can cause bifurcations to zero-turbulent-transport states in tokamak plasmas. The maximum temperature gradients that can be reached are limited by subcritica…
