Effects of neoclassical toroidal viscosity on plasma flow evolution in the presence of resonant magnetic perturbation in a tokamak
Fangyuan Ma, Ping Zhu, Jiaxing Liu
Effects of neoclassical toroidal viscosity (NTV) on plasma flow evolution in the presence of resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) in a tokamak have been evaluated using a cylindric…
Auroral signatures of ballooning instability and plasmoid formation processes in the near-Earth magnetotail
Ping Zhu, Jun Liang, Jiaxing Liu +2
The nonlinear development of ballooning instability and the subsequently induced plasmoid formation in the near-Earth magnetotail demonstrated in MHD simulations has been proposed…
Increasing the density limit with ECRH-assisted Ohmic start-up on EAST
Jiaxing Liu, Ping Zhu, Dominique Franck Escande +16
High plasma density operation is crucial for a tokamak to achieve energy breakeven and a burning plasma. However, there is often an empirical upper limit of electron density in tok…
Power dependence of density limit due to plasma-wall interaction in a burning plasma
Jiaxing Liu, Ping Zhu, Dominique Franck Escande
The density limit is one of the major obstacles to achieving the desired fusion performance in tokamaks. However, the underlying physics mechanism for its recently observed power d…
