Fully implicit three-dimensional MHD (magnetohydrodynamics) stability and evolution in toroidal geometry

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5669158

The FAR family of computer codes has been developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to solve ideal and resistive, linear and nonlinear, 3-D full MHD problems in toroidal geometry. Extensive application of an incompressible version of these codes has been made to the linear stability of tokamaks and stellarators, and nonlinear studies have also been recently completed. Present work includes generalization of the physical model in several respects to incorporate the effects of compressibility, long mean free path, and thermal conductivity.
