Error Field Amplification and Rotation Damping in Tokamak Plasmas

摘要: Toroidal rotation is normally very weakly damped in plasmas that are magnetically confined the nominally toroidally symmetric tokamak. However, a strong damping of toroidal observed as such approach marginal stability for perturbations produce kinklike distortion plasma. It shown by small departures magnetic field from symmetry greatly enhanced approached. The response plasma to studied using set electrical circuit elements, which provide an equation rotational requires minimal information about
