2 Background Kinetic effects on resistive wall mode, ideal wall mode, plasma response etc. have been extensively studied since fluid MHD approach fails to accurately treat these problems. MARS-K code has been largely upgraded to improve numerical stability and include more kinetic physics e.g. finite orbit width effect and energy dependence of collisionality. Successful benchmark has been carried out among MARS-K, IPEC-PENT, MISK and HAGIS for calculation of kinetic effects. Proposed Research for Reliable Prediction of MHD Instability Explore MHD macroscopic instability through Nyquist contour technique in experiments and compare with numerical simulation. Tearing Instability and NTV Torque in presence of external fields. Further improve kinetic model to include perturbed E and experimental energetic particles distribution function. Study kinetic effects in non-linear MHD simulation. 2

11 NSTX: Experimental b N Limit of n=1 Ideal Wall Mode Can Be Predicated by Hybird Kinetic-MHD Calculation Experimental fluid rotation destabilizes plasma and leads to under predication of b N limit in fluid MHD calculation. Kinetic effects stabilize ideal wall mode and agree with experimental b N and mode frequency. NSTX shot , t=610ms Fluid b N limit~5.6 for low Wt A =3% Fluid b N limit~4.2 for experimental W(0)t A =20% b N range Kinetic b N limit~ for expt. W(0)t A =20% Menard, Wang and Liu et al., PRL 113, (2014)] 11

12 NSTX:Eigenfunction of Ideal Wall Mode is Modified by Kinetic Effects and Plasma Rotation The eigenfunctions of radial plasma displacement solved by ideal MHD and hybrid kinetic MHD are compared. The eigenfunctions are modifed in both core and edge by kinetic effects and plasma rotation. Soild: Fluid IWM W(0)t A =0, Dashed: Kinetic IWM W(0)t A =20% Kinetic IWM m=2 m=1 Fluid IWM m=3 m=4 12

15 Nyquist Contour Significantly Improve Physical Understanding of MHD instability and Plasma Response Nyquist contour can be formed by scanning coil frequency from -infinity to +infinity. Fluid vs. Kinetic cases shows different Nyquist contours. Comparing experimental and simulated Nyquist contour can. Further validate hybrid kinetic-mhd theory; Reveal multi-mode plasma response to n=1 and n=2 perturbation; infer growth/damping rate of (multiple) mode(s) (Padé approximation); MARS simulation of DIII-D n=1 Nyquist contour MARS Nyquist Fluid w/o Rotation Fluid + Rotation Kinetic w/o Rotation Kinetic + Rotation Padé approximation 1 st mode g 1 = (a.u.) 2 nd mode g 2 = (a.u.) 3 rd mode g 3 = (a.u.) 15

16 Summary Kinetic effects with FOW significantly reduce growth rate of RWM in ITER. Strong rotation and kinetic effects substantially modify the ideal-wall limit in ST plasmas with high b. Kinetic IWM calculation reproduce experimental ideal wall b limit and mode frequency that fluid calculations cannot. Validation of hybrid kinetic-mhd theory with DIII-D experiments indicates importance of kinetic modification on response(mode) structure. Future Plan Application of MARS-K to study experimental Nyquist contour and tearing instability Inclusion of the perturbed electrostatic potential in hybrid formulation Implement the experimental EPs distribution function Study kinetic effects in non-linear MHD simulation. Possibility to do real time feedback control with hybrid kinetic-mhd? 16
