MHD linear instability code user's manual. [MHD2V106]

This handbook tells the casual user how to run the program MHD2V106, a computer program to determine linear growth rates and eigenmodes for an ideal MHD plasma in a cylinder or toroid of rectangular cross section.

3-D nonlinear evolution of MHD instabilities

The nonlinear evolution of ideal MHD internal instabilities is investigated in straight cylindrical geometry by means of a 3-D initial-value computer code. These instabilities are characterized by pairs of velocity vortex cells rolling off each other and helically twisted down the plasma column. The cells persist until the poloidal velocity saturates at a few tenths of the Alfven velocity. The nonlinear phase is characterized by convection around these essentially fixed vortex cells.
