Times Cited Count：3 Percentile：9.80(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The theory of the Newcomb equation has been applied to low-n external modes in a tokamak and a method has been developed to compute the stability matrix that gives the change of plasma potential energy due to external modes in terms of the surface values of the perturbations. By using this method, the spectral properties of the ideal external modes has been elucidated, such as coupling between external modes and internal modes, and the difference of the stability properties between a normal shear tokamak and a reversed shear tokamak. These results will be also useful in the stability analysis of resistive wall modes.

Recent progress in the theory of the Newcomb equation is reported. Emphasis is put on the analysis of external modes including peeling modes (high 
kink modes), where is the toroidal mode number. A theory for low external modes is developed so that it is also useful for the analysis of resistive wall modes.

We report on recent development of solution methods of the Newcomb equation and boundary layer equations, which play important roles in MHD stability analysis of a tokamak. Especially, the two-dimensional Newcomb equation is applied to external modes and the method is desctribed for computing the stability matrix of the external modes.
