Abstract

The internal kink modes with m>1 are studied in a tokamak of circular cross section with low shear and a high value of the parameter ..beta../sub J/, which is the ratio of the average plasma pressure to the average pressure of the poloidal magnetic field. The results show that a low-shear tokamak is more stable than a high-shear tokamak with respect to these modes.

Suppression of the m=1 internal kink instability in a high-. beta. /sub J/ tokamak

Journal Article Krymskii, A; Mikhailovskii, A - Sov. J. Plasma Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

The m=1 internal kink mode in a tokamak with a high ..beta../sub J/ and a small current gradient is analyzed. In contrast with earlier work, effects of order (..beta../sub J/a/R)/sup 4/ and (..beta../sub j/a/R)/sup 6/, where a and R are the minor and major radii of the torus. A sufficient condition for stability with respect to the m=1 mode is derived. This condition shows that this mode can in principle be suppressed for an arbitrary value of the radius a/sub O/, defined by q (a/sub O/) =1 (q is the safety factor). This is true for an arbitrarily small valuemore »« less
Stability of the internal kink mode in a high-. beta. tokamak

Journal Article Krymskii, A; Mikhailovskii, A - Sov. J. Plasma Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

The stability of the internal kink mode in a tokamak with a high-..beta.. plasma is analyzed. It is shown in the small-shear approximation that as the plasma pressure is raised, there is a stabilizing effect analogous to that predicted previously for small-scale flute perturbations.
Observations of pressure gradient driven m = 1 internal kink mode in EAST tokamak

Journal Article Liqing, Xu; Liqun, Hu; Kaiyun, Chen; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Pressure gradient driven m = 1 internal kink mode destabilization that follows an L-H transition is observed in the operational region of the EAST tokamak, which manifests in periodic oscillations in soft x-ray (SXR) and Mirnov coil signals. Using tomography with the high resolution soft x-ray detection array, we find that the rotation direction of the 1/1 kink mode is in the ion diamagnetic drift direction in poloidal cross-section. A large displacement of the hot core is attributable to the shift of the 1/1 internal kink mode. In contrast to stationary oscillations with fixed frequency, various frequency chirping behavior ismore »« less

Internal kink modes in a noncircular high-. beta. plasma

Journal Article Krymskii, A - Sov. J. Plasma Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

The effects of a small ellipticity and a small triangularity of the tokamak cross section on the stability of internal kink modes with m> or =1 are studied. These effects result from the toroidal nature of the magnetic field and the finite value of the plasma pressure. If the deviations from a circular cross section are chosen appropriately, the inner kink modes with m> or =1 are stable at a high pressure and with a low gradient of the longitudinal current density.
Resistive internal kink modes in a high-. beta. tokamak plasma

Journal Article Kuvshinov, B; Mikhailovskii, A; Tatarinov, E - Sov. J. Plasma Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

A theory is derived for resistive internal kink modes in a tokamak with a high-..beta.. plasma. An equation is derived for the Fourier transform for the perturbed displacement in a resistive layer by a single-fluid approach. Effects of fourth order in the plasma pressure are taken into account. This equation has the same structure as the corresponding equation for resistive ballooning modes. It has an exact solution expressed in terms of a confluent hypergeometric function. A general dispersion relation is derived for resistive kink modes with these effects. The finite plasma pressure leads to a decrease in the growth ratesmore »« less
