✦ Synopsis

The CASTOR (complex Alfvén spectrum of toroidal plasmas) code computes the entire spectrum of normal-modes in resistive MHD for general tokamak configurations. The applied Galerkin method, in conjunction with a Fourier finite-element discretisation, leads to a large scale eigenvalue problem Ax = λBx, where A is a nonself-adjoint matrix.

The reduced magneto-hydro-dynamical (MHD) equations show that the pressure gradient together with the magnetic-field curvature as a force drives the plasma short-wavelength MHD instability in a toroidal system. This paper discusses the role of magnetic curvature of tokamak plasmas in some detail. It
