Times Cited Count：8 Percentile：25.85(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)A transport threshold model of subsonic neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) in tokamaks is developed. The basic procedure is to include the velocity-dependent term into the single-fluid heat-conductivity equation. and to supply the parallel plasma motion equation. These equations permit the determination of the perturbed plasma temperature and the bootstrap current drive of NTMs, for both strong and weak perpendicular heat transport. It is shown that the subsonic NTMs transport threshold model can be more realistic than the standard transport threshold model of NTMs.

Times Cited Count：5 Percentile：16.93(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)A fluid treatment of convective-transport threshold model of neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) in tokamaks is developed. A system of moment equations of the drift kinetic equation with a model perpendicular transport is derived. The essence of this moment equation system is to allow for the parallel heat flux on an equal footing with pressure and temperature. The suggested moment equation system is applied for analyzing the bootstrap current drive of NTMs. As a result, a threshold model of these modes is derived, which coincides qualitatively with the convective-transport threshold model initially formulated by means of intuitive consideration.

Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：6.14(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The problem of drift stabilization of internal resistive-wall modes (RWMs) in tokamaks is theoretically investigated. The basic assumption of our model is that these modes are unstable in the absence of a conducting wall and stable in the presence of a close-fitting ideally conducting wall, when drift effects are neglected. Stability of the internal RWMs, was estimated for several existing tokamaks contributing to the ITER data base, namely, AUG (ASDEX-Upgrade), DIII-D, JET, TFTR and JT-60U, as well as for the projected ITER-FEAT. It is concluded that although drift effects do not stabilize the internal RWMs in current devices, they should be effective for suppressing these modes in reactor-grade tokamaks.
