MHD simulation of high-beta tokamaks using flux coordinates

  • 1. Princeton Univ., N.J. (USA). Plasma Physics Lab.

Description

A time-dependent, explicit, finite-difference program is described which uses the ideal MHD equations to follow the temporal development of a high-beta tokamak. A natural coordinate system, based on the field lines, is adopted so that the anisotropic behavior of a magnetically confined plasma is well represented. The formalism of our other MHD computations is adopted, so that the programs are compatible in the sense that the results of one calculation can serve as input data for another. (U.K.)
