A computational model to analyze the linear stability properties of general toroidal systems in the ideal magnetohydrodynamic limit is presented. This model includes an explicit treatment of the asymptotic singular behavior at rational surfaces. It is verified through application to internal kink mo

A matrix method to solve a resistive MHD stability problem has been developed. The equations are reduced to an eigenvalue problem of block tridiagonal matrices. The inverse iteration method is employed as a solution method of the eigenvalue problem.
The CASTOR (complex AlfvΓ©n 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 = Ξ»Bx
The quest to determine accurately the stability of tearing and resistive interchange modes in two dimensional toroidal geometry led to the development of the F'EST-3 code, which is based on solving the singular, zero-frequency ideal MHD equation in the plasma bulk and determining the outer data \(\D
The reduced system of non-linear resistive MHD equations is used in the 2-D one helicity approximation in the numerical computations of stationary tearing modes. The critical magnetic Reynolds number S (S = ;/TH where Tj~and TH are, respectively, the characteristic resistive and hydromagnetic times)
