A new linear MHD stability code MINERVA is developed for investigating a toroidal rotation effect on the stability of ideal MHD modes in tokamak plasmas. This code solves the Frieman-Rotenberg equation as not only the generalized eigenvalue problem but also the initial value problem. The parallel computing method used in this code realizes the stability analysis of both long and short wavelength MHD modes in short time. The results of some benchmarking tests show the validity of this MINERVA code. The numerical study with MINERVA about the toroidal rotation effect on the edge MHD stability shows that the rotational shear destabilizes the long/intermediate wavelength modes but stabilizes the short wavelength edge localized MHD modes, though the rotation frequency destabilizes both the long and the short wavelength MHD modes.

Numerical method for the stability analysis of ideal MHD modes with a wide range of toroidal mode numbers in tokamaks

Aiba, Nobuyuki; Tokuda, Shinji; Fujita, Takaaki; Ozeki, Takahisa; Chu, M. S.*; Snyder, P. B.*; Wilson, H. R.*

Numerical method for the stability analysis of ideal MHD modes is invented by using the physical model based on the two-dimensional Newcomb equation in combination with the conventional ideal MHD model. The MARG2D code built on this numerical method realizes to analyze the stability of wide $$n$$ range of ideal MHD modes. The validity of MARG2D has been confirmed with the benchmarking test with the DCON code by identifying the stability boundary of low-$$n$$ modes, and that with the ELITE code by comparing the growth rates of intermediate to high $$n$$ modes. With the MARG2D code, the edge stability of JT-60SA, the complementally experiment of ITER, is investigated.

Critical $$beta$$ analyses with ferromagnetic and plasma rotation effects and wall geometry for a high $$beta$$ steady state tokamak

It is shown that critical beta is decreased by ferromagnetic effect by about 8% for $$mu$$/$$mu$$$$_{0}$$$$sim$$2, $$mu$$ and $$mu$$$$_{0}$$ denoting the permeability of ferromagnetic wall and vacuum, respectively, for tokamak of aspect ratio 3. The existence of the stability window for resistive wall mode opened by both effects of the toroidal plasma rotation and the plasma dissipation, which was not observed for high aspect ratio tokamak, is found for tokamak of aspect ratio 3. The effect of ferromagnetism on them is also investigated. The critical beta analyses of NCT (National Centralized Tokamak) plasma using VALEN code are started with stabilizing plate and vacuum vessel geometry with finite resistivity, and the results for passive effect of stabilizing plate are obtained. The calculations including stabilizing effect of the vacuum-vessel and also active feedback control are also performed for present design of NCT plasma.

The critical beta is shown to be decreased by ferromagnetic effect by about 8 % for m/m0$$sim$$2, m and m0 denote the permeability of ferromagnetic wall and vacuum, respectively, for tokamak of aspect ratio 3. The existence of the stability window opened by both effects of the toroidal plasma rotation and the plasma dissipation, which was not observed for high aspect ratio tokamak, is found for tokamak of aspect ratio 3. The effect of ferromagnetism on them is also investigated.
