HINT computation of LHD equilibrium with zero rotational transform surface

  • 1. National Inst. for Fusion Science, Toki, Gifu (Japan)

Description

A Large Helical Device equilibrium having a zero rotational transform surface is studied by using the three dimensional MHD equilibrium code, HINT. We find existence of the equilibrium but with formation of the two or three n=0 islands composing a homoclinic-type structure near the center, where n is a toroidal mode number. The LHD equilibrium maintains the structure, when the equilibrium beta increases. (author)
