The effect of pre-existing islands on disruption mitigation in MHD simulations of DIII-D
Abstract
Locked-modes are the most likely cause of disruptions in ITER, so large islands are expected to be common when the ITER disruption mitigation system is deployed. MHD modeling of disruption mitigation by massive gas injection is carried out for DIII-D plasmas with stationary, pre-existing islands. Results show that the magnetic topology at the q=2 surface can affect the parallel spreading of injected impurities, and that, in particular, the break-up of large 2/1 islands into smaller 4/2 islands chains can favorably affect mitigation metrics. The direct imposition of a 4/2 mode is found to have similar results to the case in which the 4/2 harmonic grows spontaneously.
