Modeling plasma response to non-axisymmetric magnetic field perturbations in tokamak boundaries

The primary goal of this project is to provide physics insight into models that elucidate the mechanisms responsible for controlling the performance of H-mode plasmas and edge localized mode (ELM) stability when subjected to intrinsic and applied non-axisymmetric magnetic perturbations. The overall goal is to facilitate the development of physics-based criteria for the design of magnetic coils to be used for ELM suppression and H-mode pedestal control in future burning plasma devices such as ITER.
