Sustained self-reversal in the reversed field pinch

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5575017
Spontaneous reversal of the toroidal field in a Reversed Field Pinch as a result of low-..beta.. kink-tearing mode activity is investigated using a 3D incompressible MHD code. Helical and 3D steady reversed states are obtained. In 3D a critical value of the pinch parameter is observed above which only quasi-steady fluctuating states are seen.
