Reconstruction of current profile parameters and plasma shapes in tokamaks

TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient method is given to reconstruct the current profile parameters, the plasma shape, and a current profile consistent with the magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium constraint from external magnetic measurements, based on a Picard iteration approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

Principal Physics Developments Evaluated in the ITER Design Review

R. J. Hawryluk, +93 more
- 07 May 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the ITER design requirements were reviewed and as appropriate updated and the focus of this paper will be on recent work affecting ITER with special emphasis on topics affecting near-term procurement arrangements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Separation of β̄p and ℓi in tokamaks of non-circular cross-section

TL;DR: In this paper, integral relations for the average poloidal beta p and the plasma internal inductance li are derived from the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium equation for an axisymmetric torus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physics of the L-mode to H-mode transition in tokamaks

TL;DR: In this article, the basic paradigm of electric field shear stabilization has been discussed in the light of the most recent data, and the experimental results with various theories have been compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Locked modes in DIII-D and a method for prevention of the low density mode

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple theoretical model of the nonlinear stability of a tearing mode under the effect of externally applied resonant field perturbations yields a critical island width for the onset of a locked mode.
