The strong temperature dependence, over certain temperature ranges, of the radiation
cooling rate of low-Z impurities, of the atomic physics cooling and particle source rates …

As it has been shown in [1, 2], Radiation‐Condensation Instability (RCI) may initiate
Microfaceted Asymmetric Radiation from the Edge (MARFE) in tokamaks (see also review …

Abstract “Closed” and “open” reduced models of two or three most abundant light impurity
ions in an optically thin hydrogen plasma are considered. The models are shown to …

Based on the analytical study of the solutions to the coronal balance equations, as well as
on the numerical results, it is shown that, in many cases of practical interest, it is possible to …

When the theories of instabilities and linear as well as nonlinear waves in radiative plasmas
are applied to thermonuclear edge plasmas and astrophysics, many results have been …

The nonlinear evolution of radiative modes with the effects of finite recombination time were
studied in a uniformly magnetized quasi two-dimensional plasma. In the one-dimensional …

It is shown that the decompressive shock, ie, a shock where the pressure behind the front is
smaller than the pressure ahead of it, is possible in a radiative plasma; this is in contrast to …

A possible mechanism for the generation and motion of so-called blobs—peculiar
perturbations that are observed in a tokamak edge plasma—is proposed. It is suggested that …

Perturbations in multi-component collisional impurity seeded plasmas are studied. The
influences of the thermal force, heavy ion inertia and finite time of the impurity relaxation …

The reduced descriptions of the distribution of impurities over ionization states, radiation
losses and plasma dynamics are reviewed. Two and three most important ion approximation …
