Description

Numerical investigations of the MHD processes related to the sawtooth oscillation have been performed, by using the full non-ideal MHD equations. Sawteeth are found to exist in cylindrical geometry, but the amplitudes become too small for small η. Toroidal effects are important, allowing larger energy storage. (author)
