Chapter 3: MHD stability, operational limits and disruptions

TL;DR: A review of recent advances in the area of MHD stability and disruptions, since the publication of the 1999 ITER Physics Basis document (1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137-2664), is reviewed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ion Larmor radius effects in collisionless reconnection

TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear evolution of collisionless magnetic field line reconnection is investigated numerically in plasma regimes where the effects of the electron and ion temperatures are important, and the results of investigations in a two-dimensional periodic configuration including ion Larmorradius effects to all orders are presented and compared with the results obtained in regimes with a large sound Larmor radius.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developments in the theory of collisionless reconnection in magnetic configurations with a strong guide field

TL;DR: In this article, a two-fluid dissipationless plasma model where the plasma evolution is described by the advection of two Lagrangian invariant fields is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predicting the behaviour of magnetic reconnection processes in fusion burning plasma experiments

TL;DR: In this paper, critical stability issues involving magnetic reconnection that are likely to influence the successful operation of burning plasma experiments are addressed, with particular reference to nonlinear stability, including neo-classical effects.
