Theoretical description of chirping waves using phase-space waterbags
Hooman Hezaveh, Zhisong Qu, Matthew Hole +1
The guiding centre dynamics of fast particles can alter the behaviour of energetic particle driven modes with chirping frequencies. In this paper, the applicability of an earlier t…
Time-dependent relaxed magnetohydrodynamics -- inclusion of cross helicity constraint using phase-space action
R. L. Dewar, J. W. Burby, Z. Qu +2
A new formulation of time-dependent Relaxed Magnetohydrodynamics (RxMHD) is derived variationally from Hamilton's Action Principle using microscopic conservation of mass, and macro…
The impact of anisotropy on ITER scenarios
M. J. Hole, Z. Qu, S. Pinches +4
We report on the impact of anisotropy to tokamak plasma configuration and stability. Our focus is on analysis of the impact of anisotropy on ITER pre-fusion power operation 5~MA, $…
Modeling the effect of anisotropic pressure on tokamak plasmas normal modes and continuum using fluid approaches
Zhisong Qu, Matthew Hole, Michael Fitzgerald
Extending the ideal MHD stability code MISHKA, a new code, MISHKA-A, is developed to study the impact of pressure anisotropy on plasma stability. Based on full anisotropic equilibr…
