Description
Two mechanisms for the self-sustainment of magnetic islands are studied in cylindrical geometry. The first one is based on the different behaviour of electrons and ions in the presence of the islands as a result of their different Larmor radii. This mechanism could maintain magnetic turbulence resulting from a mixture between islands of the size of the ion Larmor radius and chaotic regions. The second mechanism is a pseudo-gravity, used here as a simple analogue for pressure gradient/field curvature modes. It could sustain islands much larger than the ion Larmor radius.
