33 Summary and Conclusions equilibrium Nominally axisymmetric eversed Field Pinch and Tokamak systems can develop MHD equilibrium bifurcations that lead to the formation of core helical structures. In FX-mod, the development of a SHAx equilibrium state is computed with a seven-fold toroidally periodic structure when q in the core 1/7. In Tokamak devices, reversed magnetic shear (sometimes just very flat extended low shear) with q min 1 can trigger a bifurcated solution with a core helical structure similar to a saturated m = 1, n = 1 internal kink. We have computed these 3D core helical states in TCV, ITE, MAST and JET. The JET snake phenomenon is reproduced with our model. W. Anthony Cooper, CPP/EPFL 15th Workshop on MHD Stability Control, Madison, WI, USA, November 15-17, 21 33
34 Summary and Conclusions MHD stability Brief periods in which the relatively quiescent SHAx state in FXmod relaxes to a turbulent multiple helicity state are observed. Lorenzini et al., Nature Physics 5 (29) 57. We have investigated the ideal MHD stability of SHAx equilibria by examining mode structures that break the m = 1, n = 7 periodicity of the system. Either a drop in q well below 1/8 or the disappearance of core shear reversal triggers ideal MHD modes dominated by m = 1, n = 8 coupled with m = 2, n = 15 components. For w/a > 1.2, global unstable kink mode structures are triggered. These kink modes are driven by the Ohmic current. The drive for ballooning and Pfirsch-Schlüter current modes is very weak. The dominant mode structure is a nonresonant m = 1, n = 6 component and is basically internal with a finite edge amplitude. Coupling with toroidal sidebands constitutes a significant contribution. W. Anthony Cooper, CPP/EPFL 15th Workshop on MHD Stability Control, Madison, WI, USA, November 15-17, 21 34
35 Summary and Conclusions In tokamaks, the issue of MHD stability is complicated by the fact that any mode to be investigated is in principle also a component of the equilibrium state. Possible exceptions: local ballooning/mercier modes, external kink modes, stellarator-symmetry breaking modes. The 3D helical core equilibrium states in nominally axisymmetric systems that have been obtained constitute a paradigm shift for which the tools developed for stellarators in MHD stability, kinetic stability, drift orbits, wave propagation or heating, neoclassical transport, gyrokinetics, etc become applicable and necessary to more accurately evaluate magnetic confinement physics phenomena. The constraint of nested magnetic flux surfaces and absence of X- points in our model preclude the generation of equilibrium states with magnetic islands. Saturated tearing modes could be investigated with SIESTA, PIES, HINT or SPEC. W. Anthony Cooper, CPP/EPFL 15th Workshop on MHD Stability Control, Madison, WI, USA, November 15-17, 21 35
