Evidence for the Importance of Trapped Particle Resonances for Resistive Wall Mode Stability in High Beta Tokamak Plasmas

Journal Article Reimerdes, H ; Berkery, J W ; Lanctot, M J ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Active measurements of the plasma stability in tokamak plasmas reveal the importance of kinetic resonances for resistive wall mode stability. The rotation dependence of the magnetic plasma response to externally applied quasistatic n=1 magnetic fields clearly shows the signatures of an interaction between the resistive wall mode and the precession and bounce motions of trapped thermal ions, as predicted by a perturbative model of plasma stability including kinetic effects. The identification of the stabilization mechanism is an essential step towards quantitative predictions for the prospects of ''passive'' resistive wall mode stabilization, i.e., without the use of an ''active'' feedback system,more » in fusion-alpha heated plasmas.« less

Resistive wall mode stability and resonant field amplification in MAST high beta plasma

Journal Article Liu, Yueqiang ; Kirk, Andrew ; Keeling, David L. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

The n=1 (n is the toroidal mode number) resistive wall mode (RWM) instability and the resonant field amplification (RFA) due to a stable RWM response are numerically investigated for a MAST high-pressure plasma scenario, utilizing the MARS-F (Liu Y.Q. et al 2000 Phys. Plasmas 7 3681) and MARS-K (Liu Y.Q. et al 2008 Phys. Plasmas 15 112503) codes, for the purpose of understanding the potential RWM behavior in MAST-U plasmas. Ideal kink stability analysis identifies a target plasma, with parameters similar to that of the reference equilibrium reconstructed from a MAST high-pressure discharge, that accesses the RWM regime.

Stabilization of ideal modes by resistive walls in tokamaks with plasma rotation and its effect on the beta limit

Journal Article Ward, D J ; Bondeson, A - Physics of Plasmas

It is shown that pressure-driven, ideal external modes in tokamaks can be fully stabilized by resistive walls with plasma rotation. For wall stabilized plasmas, there are two types of potentially unstable external modes: (i) the ``resistive wall modes`` that penetrate, and are nearly locked to the wall, and (ii) modes that rotate with the plasma and for which the wall acts as a good conductor. For the quickly rotating modes, the stabilizing effect of the wall increases when the wall is brought closer to the plasma, while for the resistive wall modes, the stabilization improves with {ital increasing} wall distance.more »« less

Interaction of high-energy trapped particles with ballooning modes in a tokamak with a high-. beta. plasma

Journal Article Mikhailovskii, A B ; Novakovaskii, S V ; Smolyakov, A I - Sov. J. Plasma Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

A theory is derived for the interaction of high-energy trapped particleswith ballooning modes in a tokamak with a high-..beta.. plasma. A dispersionrelation is derived to describe the ballooning modes in the presence ofsuch particles; the effects of the high plasma ..beta.. are taken into account.The stability boundary for ballooning modes with zero and finite frequenciesis studied. The effects of finite bananas on the stability of ballooningmodes with zero frequencies are determined.
Active Stabilization of the Resistive-Wall Mode in High-Beta, Low-Rotation Plasmas

Journal Article Sabbagh, S A ; Sontag, A C ; Bialek, J M ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The resistive-wall mode is actively stabilized in the National Spherical Torus Experiment in high-beta plasmas rotating significantly below the critical rotation speed for passive stability and in the range predicted for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. Variation of feedback stabilization parameters shows mode excitation or suppression. Stabilization of toroidal mode number unity did not lead to instability of toroidal mode number two. The mode can become unstable by deforming poloidally, an important consideration for stabilization system design.
