3D nonlinear calculations of resistive tearing modes
- 1. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37830
Description
Recent numerical calculations of the evolution of resistive tearing modes have been cemtral to the understanding of MHD activity and disruptions in tokamaks. The nonlinear three-dimensional initial value computer code RSF has provided many of these results. RSF assumes cylindrical geometry with a Fourier series representation in the two periodic coordinates and a finite difference representation in the radial direction. This choice makes RSF considerably more accurate and efficient than previous codes
