High-m kink/tearing modes in cylindrical geometry
The global ideal kink equation, for cylindrical geometry and zero beta, is simplified in the high poloidal mode number limit and used to determine the tearing stability parameter, Δ′. In the presence of a steep monotonic current gradient, Δ′ becomes a function of a parameter, σ0, characterising the...
