Advanced Tokamak stability theory [Elektronisk resurs] / Linjin Zheng.

• Tokamak MHD equilibrium -- Ideal MHD instabilities -- Resistive MHD instabilities -- Gyrokinetic theory -- Physical interpretations of experimental observations -- Concluding remarks -- Appendix A: Derivation of the gyrokinetics equations. 

• The intention of this book is to introduce advanced tokamak stability theory. We start with the derivation of the Grad–Shafranov equation and the construction of various toroidal flux coordinates. An analytical tokamak equilibrium theory is presented to demonstrate the Shafranov shift and how the toroidal hoop force can be balanced by the application of a vertical magnetic field in tokamaks. In addition to advanced theories, this book also discusses the intuitive physics pictures for various experimentally observed phenomena.
