Tokamaks have demonstrated excellent plasma confinement capability because of their
symmetry but has an intrinsic drawback because of their pulsed inductive operation. Efforts …

The ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is a Hamiltonian system of infinite degrees of
freedom and wave energy plays an important role in stability and bifurcation of a steady …

The purpose of this monograph is to provide an introduction to modern tokamak physics, as
an extension of our review paper “Steady State Tokamak Research—Core Physics” …

We review the progress made, during the last decade, on the analysis of formal stability for
Hamiltonian fluid models for plasmas, carried out by means of the energy-Casimir (EC) …

The ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) as well as the ideal fluid dynamics is governed by
a Hamilton equation with respect to the Lie–Poisson bracket. The Nambu bracket manifestly …
