Abstract: | It is very important to calculate the equilibrium magnetic field configuration exactly and to estimate the parameters of the device needed for the equilibrium and stability in the design and operate the low-aspect-ratio tokamak, one of the axis-symmetrical torus devices which is widely used in the research of nuclear fusion using plasma. In the previous researches, there were the theoretical and numerical interpretation methods for the high-aspect-ratio tokamak plasma. But for the low-aspect-ratio tokamak plasma, numerical methods such as the finite element method and iteration method are usually used. In this research, we interpreted and examined the features of magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium of the low-aspect-ratio tokamak plasma in combination with the Green function method and finite element method which has high numerical value accuracy. |
