The presence of Error Fields (EFs) in magnetic fusion devices can affect energy confinement and plasma stability by braking plasma rotation, by inducing fast particle losses and being amplified when exploring high-b regimes. The resulting EF Locked Modes (LMs) can be stabilized by NBI injection through the rotation shielding mechanism. However, …

The kinetic effects, due to the mode resonance with thermal particle drift motions in the reversed field pinch (RFP) plasmas, are numerically investigated for the stability of the resistive wall mode, using a non-perturbative MHD-kinetic hybrid formulation. The kinetic effects are generally found too weak to substantially change the mode growth rat…

In this Letter, the linear stability of the resistive wall modes (RWMs) in toroidal geometry for a reversed field pinch (RFP) plasma is studied. Three computational models are used: the cylindrical code ETAW , the toroidal MHD code MARS-F , and the CARMA code, able to take fully into account the effects of a threedimensional conducting structure wh…
