  3. Reconstruction of SRMP coil Mode structure of SRMP @ r=a=0.27m (Gs/kA) A typical current wave of SRMP coil Layout of SRMP (Static Resonant Magnetic Perturbation ) coil • Reconstructed the original SFX (Stochastic Field Experiment) coil of TEXT-U (now named as SRMP coil on J-TEXT). • 3 cosine coils and 2 sine coils. • Resonant perturbation modes: m/n=2/1 (up to 0.64 GS/kA) and 3/1 (up to 0.8 GS/kA) 4000A

  18. Magnetic perturbations MHD model for mode locking and experiments Reduced MHD model • In order to study the instabilities MHD related, reduced MHD model (Ohm’s law, the equation of motion and energy conservation) are utilized. Recently, mode locking by error field, nonlinear evolution of tearing modes and their interaction with RMPs are studied. Theoretical model

  19. Numerical modeling • Three regimes have been found: • Mode suppression regime, • ψa<4.5×10-5aBt • Small locked island regime • 4.5×10-5aBt<ψa<5.9×10-5aBt • (iii) mode locking regime • ψa>5.9×10-5aBt
