The physics of non-axisymmetry is a far more important topic in the theory of toroidal fusion
plasmas than might be expected.(1) Even a small toroidal asymmetry in the magnetic field …

Density pumpout and edge-localized mode (ELM) suppression by applied n= 2 magnetic
fields in low-collisionality DIII-D plasmas are shown to be correlated with the magnitude of …

A small relaxation of the axisymmetric magnetic field of a tokamak into a non-axisymmetric
three-dimensional (3D) configuration can be effective to control magnetohydrodynamic …

A tokamak relies on the axisymmetric magnetic fields to confine fusion plasmas and aims to
deliver sustainable and clean energy. However, misalignments arise inevitably in the …

SPARC is being designed to operate with a normalized beta of that rises linearly with a
change in the plasma current. Massive material injection is planned to reduce the disruption …

Large Type-I edge-localized mode (ELM) heat pulses may limit the life of divertor targets in a
burning plasma. Recent experiments show that pitch-resonant nonaxisymmetric magnetic …

Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMP) have extensively been demonstrated as a
plausible technique for mitigating or suppressing large edge localized modes (ELMs) …

Abstract Small three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field perturbations have many interesting
and possibly useful effects on tokamak and quasi-symmetric stellarator plasmas. Plasma …

The first quantitative comparison of linear ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory with
external magnetic measurements of the nonaxisymmetric plasma perturbation driven by …

An extensive study of intrinsic and controlled non-axisymmetric field (δB) impacts in KSTAR
has enhanced the understanding about non-axisymmetric field physics and its implications …
