Self-consistent computations are carried out to study the stability of the resistive wall mode RWM in DIII-D J. L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42 , 614 2002 plasmas with slow plasma rotation, using the hybrid kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic code MARS-K [Y. Q. Liu and et al. , Phys. Plasmas 15 , 112503 (2008)]. Based on kinetic resonances between the mode and t…

Advance tokamak scenarios are gaining more and more importance in operating tokamaks. These scenarios pose challenging control problems, since they require the simultaneous achievement of ambitious plasma parameters. The inherent coupling among the various variables calls for an integrated approach for the design of the controllers. This paper desc…
