Title: A parametric study of the drift-tearing mode using an extended-magnetohydrodynamic model

Abstract

The linear, collisional, constant-ψ drift-tearing mode is analyzed for different regimes of the plasma-β, ion-skin-depth parameter space with an unreduced, extended-magnetohydrodynamic model. New dispersion relations are found at moderate plasma β and previous drift-tearing results are classified as applicable at small plasma β.

Toroidal modeling of energetic passing particle drift kinetic effects on tearing mode stability

Journal Article Bai, Xue ; Liu, Yueqiang ; Hao, Guangzhou ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

Abstract Drift kinetic effects of the neutral beam injection induced passing energetic particles (EPs) on the linear stability of then= 1 tearing mode (TM) (with the dominant poloidal harmonic ofm= 2) are numerically investigated utilizing the MARS-K code (Liuet al2008Phys. Plasmas15112503), in a tokamak plasma with finite equilibrium pressure and anisotropic thermal transport. In the low plasma pressure regime, it is found that co- (counter-) passing EPs stabilize (destabilize) the TM, agreeing with previous studies. However, as the plasma pressure increases beyond a critical value, it is found that co-passing EPs also destabilize the mode. An in-depth analysis reveals that themore »« less

Supersonic regime of the Hall-magnetohydrodynamics resistive tearing instability

Journal Article Ahedo, Eduardo ; Ramos, Jesus J - Physics of Plasmas

An earlier analysis of the Hall-magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) tearing instability [E. Ahedo and J. J. Ramos, Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 51, 055018 (2009)] is extended to cover the regime where the growth rate becomes comparable or exceeds the sound frequency. Like in the previous subsonic work, a resistive, two-fluid Hall-MHD model with massless electrons and zero-Larmor-radius ions is adopted and a linear stability analysis about a force-free equilibrium in slab geometry is carried out. A salient feature of this supersonic regime is that the mode eigenfunctions become intrinsically complex, but the growth rate remains purely real. Even more interestingly, the dispersionmore »« less

Linear theory of drift-tearing and -interchange modes

Journal Article Copenhaver, C - Phys. Fluids; (United States)

A drift dispersion relation, as applied to a resistive incompressible plasma in cylindrical geometry, is derived. This dispersion relation incorporates both drift-tearing and drift-interchange modes and is valid throughout the collisional regime by including kinetic theory factors. The dispersion relation reduces to the drift-tearing dispersion relation in the zero pressure gradient limit, and to the classical resistive dispersion relation in the zero drift limit. The electron temperature-gradient instability is still present. Now, however, the introduction of the drift-interchange instability increases the growth rate further above the drift-tearing case.

Neoclassical viscosity effects on resistive magnetohydrodynamic modes in toroidal geometry

Journal Article Yang, J G ; Oh, Y H ; Choi, D I ; ... - Physics of Fluids B; (United States)

The flux-surface-averaged linearized resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary-layer equations including the compressibility, diamagnetic drift, and neoclassical viscosity terms are derived in toroidal geometry. These equations describe the resistive layer dynamics of resistive MHD modes over the collisionality regime between the banana plateau and the Pfirsch--Schlueter. From the resulting equations, the effects of neoclassical viscosity on the stability of the tearing and resistive ballooning modes are investigated numerically. Also, a study is given for the problem of how the neoclassical resistive MHD mode is generated as the collisionality is reduced. It is shown that the neoclassical viscosity terms give a significant destabilizingmore »« less
