Generalised 2D ballooning theory in tokamaks : obtaining the global properties of linear microinstabilities from the local ballooning equations

This thesis involves the development of a technique to improve our understanding of the impact of global effects on linear microinstabilities. The technique combines local ballooning solutions with higher order theory to reconstruct the global eigenmode structure and associated global eigenvalue. In...
