Alfven frequency sweeping modes in stellarator plasmas with normal and reversed shear rotational transform are modelled using a reduced MHD model. We focus on a TJ-II dynamic discharge in which a sequence of frequency sweeping modes with a frequency sweeping range from 20 kHz to 140 kHz (Melnikov A.V. et al 2014 Nucl. Fusion 54 123002) have been ob…

Alfven eigenmodes driven by energetic particles are routinely observed in tokamak plasmas. These modes consist of poloidal harmonics of shear Alfven waves coupled by inhomogeneity in the magnetic field. Further coupling is introduced by 3D inhomogeneities in the ion density during the assimilation of injected pellets. This additional coupling modi…

A nonlinear bump-on-tail model for the growth and saturation of energetic particle driven plasma waves has been extended to include two populations of fast particles - one dominated by dynamical friction at the resonance and the other by velocity space diffusion. The resulting temporal evolution of the wave amplitude and frequency depends on the re…
