Numerical equilibria with pressure anisotropy and incompressible plasma rotation parallel to the magnetic field
G. Poulipoulis, G. N. Throumoulopoulos
It is believed that plasma rotation can affect the transitions to the advanced confinement regimes in tokamaks. In addition, in order to achieve fusion temperatures modern tokamaks…
Certain developments on the equilibrium of magnetized plasmas
A. Evangelias, D. A. Kaltsas, A. Kuiroukidis +3
Recent results will be presented on steady states of magnetically confined plasmas obtained by conventional and Hamiltonian methods. The presentation consists of three parts. The f…
Magnetohydrodynamic "cat eyes" and stabilizing effects of plasma flow
G. N. Throumoulopoulos, H. Tasso, G. Poulipoulis
The cat-eyes steady state solution in the framework of hydrodynamics describing an infinite row of identical vortices is extended to the magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium equation wi…
On axisymmetric MHD equilibria with incompressible flows under side conditions
G. N. Throumoulopoulos, H. Tasso, G. Poulipoulis
Axisymmetric equilibria with incompressible flows of arbitrary direction are studied in the framework of magnetohydrodynamics under a variety of physically relevant side conditions…
Two-fluid tokamak equilibria with reversed magnetic shear and sheared flow
G. Poulipoulis, G. N. Throumoulopoulos, H. Tasso
The aim of the present work is to investigate tokamak equilibria with reversed magnetic shear and sheared flow, which may play a role in the formation of internal transport barrier…
Multitoroidal configurations as equilibrium flow eigenstates
G. Poulipoulis, George Throumoulopoulos, Henri Tasso
Equilibrium eigenstates of an axisymmetric magnetically confined plasma with toroidal flow are investigated by means of exact solutions of the ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations.…
