MHD instabilities

Book ·
OSTI ID:6503774
A description of experimental observations of MHD instabilities in tokamaks is given. The MHD model is described and applied to the Rayleigh--Taylor instability in a plane slab. The theory of equilibrium and linear stability is then developed and applied to successively more complicated geometries. Further chapters cover nonlinear and resistive instability theory. (MOW)
