MHD behaviour of a reversed-field pinch plasma in the setting-up phase

  • 1. Tokyo Univ. (Japan). Faculty of Engineering

Description

Magnetohydrodynamic phenomena in the setting-up phase of reversed-field pinches (RFPs) are studied both experimentally and theoretically. The experimental observation shows that, in the setting-up phase, a negative flux is generated by the coherent dynamics of a global helical mode rather than by turbulent or statistical behaviour. The experiment is consistent with a non-linear reconnection model. (author)
