Nonlinear study of tearing modes and plasma flows around magnetic islands in tokamak plasmas

The behavior of non-linear tearing modes and the plasma flows around magnetic islands is studied numerically in a cylindrical geometry using the method of reduced magneto-hydro-dynamic simulation. The results show that the single tearing mode (STM) becomes stable in a short time. The magnetic island...
