In this bachelor's thesis, isotope effects for pedestal instabilities have been studied based on an ASDEX Upgrade H-Mode scenario. This was done using the JOREK code for extended MHD simulations, including the ion diamagnetic drift and the…

Double-tearing modes (DTMs) have been proposed as a driver of `off-axis sawtooth' crashes in reverse magnetic shear tokamak configurations. Recently differential rotation provided by equilibrium sheared flows has been shown capable of…

In this paper, we investigate the effects of rapid rotation (Mach number M ~ 1) on plasma fluid stability, focusing specifically on Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) and interchange instabilities - including both magnetic-curvature-driven (CDI) and…

The density dependence of edge-localized-mode (ELM) suppression and density pump-out (density reduction) by n = 2 resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) is consistent with the effects of narrow well-separated magnetic islands at the top and…

In a previous work, we showed that the differentially rotating equatorial disk in the pulsar's electrosphere is diocotron unstable in the non-relativistic regime. In this paper, we extend these results and study the relativistic and…

The MHD slow mode wave has application to coronal seismology, MHD turbulence, and the solar wind where it can be produced by parametric instabilities. We consider analytically how a drifting ion species (e.g. He$^{++}$) affects the linear…

Recent advances in the integrated modeling of ELMy H-mode plasmas are presented. A model for the H-mode pedestal and for the triggering of ELMs predicts the height, width, and shape of the H-mode pedestal and the frequency and width of…

Global and local linear gyrokinetic simulations of 42 pedestal equilibria from three DIII-D discharges are used to investigate pedestal stability and its impact on pedestal structure and confinement. Microtearing modes (MTMs) and kinetic…

The extended-MHD NIMROD code [C.R. Sovinec and J.R. King, J. Comput. Phys. 229, 5803 (2010)] is verified against the ideal-MHD ELITE code [H.R. Wilson et al. Phys. Plasmas 9, 1277 (2002)] on a diverted tokamak discharge. When the NIMROD…

Numerical simulation on the resonant magnetic perturbation penetration is carried out by the newly-updated initial value code MDC (MHD@Dalian Code). Based on a set of two-fluid four-field equations, the bootstrap current, parallel and…

The pedestal profile measurements in high triangularity JET plasmas show that with low fuelling the pedestal width decreases during the ELM cycle and with high fuelling it stays constant. In the low fuelling case the pedestal pressure…

The theoretical investigation of relevant turbulent transport mechanisms in H-mode pedestals is a great scientific and numerical challenge. In this study, we address this challenge by global, nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of a full…

A two fluid model with parallel viscosity is employed to derive the dispersion relation for electromagnetic geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) in the presence of drift (diamagnetic) effects. Concerning the influence of the electron dynamics on…

An H-mode plasma state free of edge-localized mode (ELM), close to the L-H transition with clear density and temperature pedestal has been observed both at the Joint European Torus (JET) and at the ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) tokamaks usually…

Magnetic nozzles are a key component of electrodeless plasma thrusters, acting as their main acceleration stage. Non-stationary phenomena common to the entire range of $E \times B$ devices, such as oscillations and instabilities, are likely…

Type-I Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) have been mitigated in MAST through the application of n = 3, 4 and 6 resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs). For each toroidal mode number of the non-axisymmetric applied fields, the frequency of the ELMs…

Benign termination, in which magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities deconfine runaway electrons (REs) following hydrogenic injections, is a promising strategy for mitigating dangerous RE loads after disruptions. Recent experiments on the…

The linear drift-tearing mode is analyzed for different regimes of the plasma-$\beta$, ion-skin-depth parameter space with an unreduced, extended-MHD model. New dispersion relations are found at moderate plasma $\beta$ and previous…

The magnetic droplet soliton is a large amplitude, coherently precessing wave state that exists in ferromagnetic thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. To effectively sustain a droplet, magnetic damping can be locally…

Turbulent transport is a decisive factor in determining the pedestal structure of H-modes. Here, we present the first comprehensive characterization of gyrokinetic turbulent transport in a JET hybrid H-mode pedestal. Local, linear…
