    Relaxed plasmas in external magnetic fields (1994)

    Notes: The extension of the theory of relaxed plasmas to external magnetic fields whose field lines intersect the wall is concisely formulated and then applied to the Extrap experiment [J. R. Drake, Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 26, 387 (1984)]. It is found that the external octupole field, though not affecting the phenomenon of current saturation, inhibits field reversal at parts of the wall if it is sufficiently strong to generate magnetic x points within the plasma.

    Extended theory of interface localized modes (1998)

    Notes: The theory of resistive free boundary modes localized at the plasma–vacuum interface in a plane slab equilibrium is improved and extended. If one proceeds to sufficiently small wavelengths, then the stability criterion (the current density vector must not have a component along the magnetic field vector in the interface) remains unchanged, but the unstable eigenmodes become independent of resistivity, and their growth rates diverge like the inverse square root of the wavelength. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Interface localized instabilities in resistive magnetohydrodynamics (1995)

    Notes: Modes localized at a plasma–vacuum interface are studied in plane slab equilibria by using resistive magnetohydrodynamics. Such modes are unstable whenever the current density and the magnetic field are not perpendicular to each other in the interface. The perturbations have no radial nodes but large mode numbers in the other two directions. The instability occurs for a wide range of angles between the nodal lines and the magnetic field lines in the interface and does not depend on the presence of a mode resonant surface. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Stability of force-free plasma–vacuum equilibria (1994)

    Notes: The magnetohydrodynamic stability of force-free plasma–vacuum systems (curl B=μB in the plasma, with constant μ) is studied in circular cylinders with identified ends (topological torus). A necessary stability criterion is derived by considering large poloidal mode numbers. This takes a simple form (the magnetic rotation numbers at the axis and plasma–vacuum interface must have opposite signs) if the magnetic field lines in the interface are not closed. If they are closed, then violation of this simple condition does not imply instability unless the aspect ratio exceeds some value which depends on both the numerator and denominator of the rational magnetic rotation number at the interface. For aspect ratios greater than unity, combination with the criterion for stability to internal kinks implies that the inhomogeneity parameter ||μ|| must be above the threshold for reversal of the toroidal current density, but below that for reversal of the poloidal one. This condition is independent of the wall radius, in contrast to the well-known necessary and sufficient stability criterion in the limit of infinite aspect ratio, which remains sufficient for arbitrary aspect ratios, and which requires that ||μ|| be in a smaller interval that does depend on the wall radius.

    Notes: Taylor's theory of relaxed toroidal plasmas (states of lowest energy with fixed total magnetic helicity) is extended to include a vacuum between the plasma and the wall. In the extended variational problem, one prescribes, in addition to the helicity and the magnetic fluxes whose conservation follows from the perfect conductivity of the wall, the fluxes whose conservation follows from the assumption that the plasma-vacuum interface is also perfectly conducting (if the wall is a magnetic surface, then one has the toroidal and the poloidal flux in the vacuum). Vanishing of the first energy variation implies a pressureless free-boundary magnetohydrostatic equilibrium with a Beltrami magnetic field in the plasma, and in general with a surface current in the interface. Positivity of the second variation implies that the equilibrium is stable according to ideal magnetohydrodynamics, that it is a relaxed state according to Taylor's theory if the interface is replaced by a wall, and that the surface current is nonzero (at least if there are no closed magnetic field lines in the interface). The plane slab, with suitable boundary conditions to simulate a genuine torus, is investigated in detail. The relaxed state has the same double symmetry as the vessel if, and only if, the prescribed helicity is in an interval that depends on the prescribed fluxes. This interval is determined in the limit of a thin slab. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Plasma corners. II: Arbitrary profiles (1992)

    Notes: Ordinary plasma corners are studied in two-dimensional magnetohydrostatic equilibria with arbitrary axial current density profiles. The corner structure depends only on the nearby current density profile and the multiplicity of the magnetic stagnation point. A simple corner, for instance, is right-angled if the current density is bounded at the separatrix or diverges more slowly than any power of the poloidal magnetic flux, but is acute-angled or even cusped otherwise. As an application, the magnetohydrodynamic interchange stability criterion is shown to be violated near simple corners in Z-pinch equilibria.

    Stabilization of axisymmetric modes in plasma–vacuum equilibria by current reversal (1992)
    New York, NY : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Physics of Fluids 4 (1992), S. 1517-1523

    Notes: Two-dimensional plasma–vacuum equilibria are constructed by solving a free-boundary problem for small deviations from a circular cross section, and their two-dimensional stability is studied by examining that eigenmode that reduces to the marginal rigid shift in the circular limit (all other two-dimensional modes are stable). The vacuum is assumed to extend to infinity (no wall), N axial external currents are assumed to be symmetrically placed far away from the plasma, and the plasma current density is assumed to be a linear function of the poloidal magnetic flux. It is found that instability always results for N=2 (elliptical corrugation), but that stability may result for N≥3 if the axial plasma current density changes sign across some pressure surface. It is concluded that axially symmetric modes in toroidal equilibria with large aspect ratio can be stabilized by current reversal, even if no conducting wall surrounds the vacuum.

    Plasma corners. I: Constant toroidal current density (1992)

    Notes: If a toroidal plasma–vacuum interface has a corner, then it contains a stagnation point of the poloidal magnetic field, thus being part of a separatrix. Plasma corners are studied in magnetohydrostatic equilibria with plane symmetry (the large-aspect-ratio limit of axially symmetric ones) and constant axial current density. Their structure depends only on the multiplicity n of the stagnation point (defined such that the separatrix divides a neighborhood into 2n sectors) and on the relative orientation of the axial current density and the poloidal magnetic field nearby (termed "ordinary'' or "extraordinary,'' depending on whether the latter can be viewed as being generated by the former): Simple (i.e., n=2) ordinary corners resemble simple X points in vacuum fields in that all four sectors are right angled, but differ in that, for small distances r from the X point, the poloidal magnetic field is O(r log r−1) rather than O(r), and in that the curvature of the separatrix is O(r−1) rather than O(1). Degenerate (i.e., n≥3) ordinary corners have a vanishing angle (plasma cusps), and all extraordinary corners have a straight angle (smooth plasma–vacuum interfaces).
