Destabilizing effects of edge infernal components on resistive wall modes in advanced tokamak scenarios
Source abstract
Abstract
The stability of the n = 1 resistive wall modes (RWMs) dominated by the pressure-driven infernal components is investigated using the ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code AEGIS for the advanced tokamak scenarios. Here, n is the toroidal mode number. In the advanced tokamak scenarios, due to the large fraction of bootstrap current contribution, the profile of safety factor q is deeply reversed in magnetic shear in the central core region and locally flattened within the edge pedestal. Consequently, the pressure-driven infernal components develop in the corresponding flat-q regions of both core and edge. However, the edge infernal components dominate the n = 1 RWM structure and lead to lower βN limits for the advanced tokamak scenarios. In the framework of ideal MHD, the edge rotation is found the most critical to the stabilization due to the dominant influence of the edge infernal components, which should be maintained sufficiently large in magnitude and range in order for the rotation alone to fully suppress the n = 1 RWM in typical advanced tokamak scenarios.
