Title: Equilibrium and stability of tokamak with arbitrary cross section

Abstract

An analytical study is made of the equilibrium and stability of tokamaks with an arbitrary cross section. The ideal hydromagnetic model is used. With inverse aspect-ratio expansion, the analytical expression of the equilibrium magnetic surface which is correct to the second order of the inverse aspect ratio is obtained as a function of the mean radius of the magnetic surface. The specific volume of the magnetic flux is obtained explicitly, and the stability against an interchange mode is discussed. (AIP)
