Tokamak equilibrium profile
Description
The fully relaxed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium is obtained by imposing nonideal MHD perturbations constrained by the total plasma current. The minimum energy state governed by Δ*psi+C/sub F/ exp(psi/λ)+C/sub p/R2 exp(5psi/4λ)= = 0 reveals properties of profile consistency, bifurcated solutions, and a loss of equilibrium condition. It predicts the transport coefficient peaked at the plasma edge and a unique current profile for given q0 and q/sub l/
