The direct criterion of Newcomb for the ideal MHD stability of stepped-pressure stellarators

A recent publication presents the theoretical basis for extending the Newcomb criterion for the ideal magnetohydrodynamic stability of a straight, circular cylindrical plasma to an axisymmetric toroidal plasma. This paper further extends the method to a nonaxisymmetric plasma with stellarator symmet...

Zusammenfassung:A recent publication presents the theoretical basis for extending the Newcomb criterion for the ideal magnetohydrodynamic stability of a straight, circular cylindrical plasma to an axisymmetric toroidal plasma. This paper further extends the method to a nonaxisymmetric plasma with stellarator symmetry and toroidal periodicity.
