This paper reviews the research on the reversed field pinch (RFP) in the last three decades.
Substantial experimental and theoretical progress and transformational changes have been …

This book offers a thorough coverage of the magnetic control of a plasma in a tokamak. A
plasma is a gas in which an important fraction of the particles is ionized, so that the electrons …

With reference to toroidal fusion devices, we solve axisymmetric nonlinear evolutionary
equilibrium equations, describing the plasma behaviour, self-consistently coupled to eddy …

Externally applied, non-axisymmetric magnetic fields form the basis of several relatively
simple and direct methods to control magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities in a …

Two issues of the resistive wall mode (RWM) control code maturity are addressed: the
inclusion of advanced mode damping physics beyond the ideal MHD description, and the …

Dealing with electromagnetic fields, in particular current and related magnetic fields, yields
“natural” physical vector relations in 3-D. However, when it comes to choosing local …

The kinetic effects influencing the stability of the resistive wall mode (RWM) are investigated
by applying a drift kinetic code to calculate the change in the potential energy of the mode in …

Plasma stabilization due to a nearby conducting wall can provide access to better
performance in some scenarios in tokamaks. This was proved by experiments with an …

Self-consistent computations are carried out to study the stability of the resistive wall mode
(RWM) in DIII-D [JL Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 614 (2002)] plasmas with slow plasma rotation …
