Stabilization of Tokamak Plasma by Lithium Streams
Author: L.E. Zakharov
Date of PPPL Report: August 2000
Submitted to: Physical Review Letters
The stabilization theory of free-boundary magnetohydrodynamic instabilities in tokamaks by liquid lithium streams driven by magnetic propulsion is formulated. While the conventional, wall-locked, resistive wall mode can be well suppressed by the flow, a new, stream-locked mode determines the limits of the flow stabilization.
