Shear Alfvén Waves within Magnetic Islands
Nuclear Fusion(2024)
摘要
Abstract We calculate Alfv\'en eigenmodes within a magnetic island (MiAE)
which have been conjectured over a decade ago. Starting from
a cylindrical plasma equilibrium, we calculate the complete metric of
the island interior assuming an iota profile with a constant shear for
Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X)
parameters. Then, we solve the
resulting magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) equations inside the island
optionally considering finite
Larmor radius (FLR) corrections.
We find various eigenmodes in the lowest gaps for $n=0$.
The eigenmode with the lowest frequency shows a weakly non-linear dependence on the island width.
This non-linear behaviour and the appearance of odd and
even modes deviates qualitatively from an earlier frequency estimate.
