Three-dimensional nonlinear modeling of MHD instabilities for low-q plasma on J-TEXT

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

Description

The characteristics of the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) instabilities for low edge safety factor (low-q) plasma are investigated on J-TEXT with three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear MHD Infrastructure for Plasma Simulation (MIPs) code. The dynamics of m = 2 mode coupling with m = 1 mode is found in the linear growth phase with the initial qaxis < 1 equilibrium. And new 3D helical coils are designed for generating additional rotational transform based on the J-TEXT configuration, which is helpful to suppress the amplitude of the MHD instabilities from the modeling result.
