The kinetic excitation of ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) discrete Alfven eigenmodes in the second MHD ballooning stable domain is studied in the presence of a thermal ion temperature gradient (ITG), using linear gyrokinetic…
We consider the one-dimensional equilibrium problem of a shear-flow boundary layer within an "extended Hall-MHD" (eHMHD) model of plasma that retains first-order finite Larmor radius (FLR) corrections to the ion dynamics. We provide a…
It is found that the presence of the so-called non-axisymmetric resonances of wave-particle interaction in stellarators [which are associated with the lack of axial symmetry of the magnetic configuration, Kolesnichenko et al., Phys. Plasmas…
Future nuclear fusion reactors will have to confine plasma with strong kinetic gradients and small fractions of fusion-born energetic particles (EP) that are ~100 times hotter than the thermal ions. In our analysis, we assume the existence…
Energetic particle populations in nuclear fusion experiments can destabilize Alfv\' en Eigenmodes through inverse Landau damping and couplings with gap modes in the shear Alfv\' en continua. We use the reduced MHD equations to describe the…
The linear dispersion relation for the magnetorotational instability (MRI) is derived including finite Larmor radius (FLR) effects. In particular, the Braginskii form of the ion gyroviscosity, which represents the first-order FLR…
A workflow is developed based on the ideal MHD model to investigate the linear physics of various Alfv\'en eigenmodes in general axisymmetric toroidal geometry, by solving the coupled shear Alfv\'en wave (SAW) and ion sound wave (ISW)…
Alfven Eigenmodes (AE) can be destabilized by energetic particles in neutral beam injection (NBI) heated plasmas through inverse Landau damping and couplings with gap modes in the shear Alfven continua. We describe the linear evolution of…
Where spatial gradients in the amplitude of an Alfven wave are non-zero, a nonlinear magnetic-pressure gradient acts upon the medium (the ponderomotive force). We investigate the nature of such a force in inhomogeneous 2.5D MHD plasmas by…
The effect of a narrow sub-Alfvenic shear flow layer near the minimum q_min of the tokamak safety factor profile in a configuration with reversed central shear is analyzed. Sufficiently strong velocity shear gives rise to a broad spectrum…
This study investigates the properties of waves in relativistic extended magnetohydrodynamics (RXMHD), which includes Hall and electron thermal inertia effects. We focus on the case when the electron temperature is ultrarelativistic, and…
Toroidal Alfv\'en eigenmodes (TAEs) can transport fusion-born energetic particles out of the plasma volume, thereby decreasing plasma self-heating efficiency and possibly damaging reactor walls. Therefore, understanding TAE destabilisation…
A two-field gyrofluid model including ion finite Larmor radius (FLR) corrections, magnetic fluctuations along the ambient field and electron inertia is used to study two-dimensional reconnection in a low $\beta_e$ collisionless plasma, in a…
We demonstrate analytically that, in toroidal plasmas, scattering by drift wave turbulence could lead to appreciable damping of toroidal Alfven eigenmodes via generation of short-wavelength electron Landau damped kinetic Alfven waves. A…
A Hamiltonian two-field gyrofluid model is used to investigate the dynamics of an electron-ion collisionless plasma subject to a strong ambient magnetic field, within a spectral range extending from the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) scales to…
The dynamics of the partially ionized solar atmosphere is controlled by the frequent collision and charge exchange between the predominant neutral Hydrogen atoms and charged ions. At signal frequencies below or of the order of either of the…
We present a gyrokinetic theory for the electromagnetic waves and instabilities with frequencies much lower than the ion cyclotron frequency in finite-$\beta$ anisotropic uniform plasmas. Here, $\beta$ is the ratio between plasma and…
Using electron drift wave (eDW) as a paradigm model, we have investigated analytically direct wave-wave interactions between a test DW and ambient toroidal Alfv\'en eigenmodes (TAE) in toroidal plasmas, and their effects on the stability of…
The shear Alfv\'en continuum spectrum is studied for a tokamak with a single island chain using the ideal Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) theory. We have taken into account the toroidal geometry and toroidal mode coupling with the island…
We consider the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) subjected to a strong magnetic field along $x_1$ direction in three-dimensional thin domains $\Omega_\delta=\mathbb{R}^2\times(-\delta,\delta)$ with slip boundary conditions. It is well-known…
