Abstract
- A transport threshold model of subsonic neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) in tokamaks is developed. The basic procedure is to include the velocity-dependent term into the single-fluid heat-conductivity equation and to complement this equation with the single-fluid parallel plasma motion equation. These equations permit the determination of the perturbed plasma temperature and the bootstrap current drive of NTMs, for both strong and weak perpendicular heat transport, which is the precondition for developing the above model. It is shown that the subsonic NTMs transport threshold model can be more realistic than the standard transport model of NTMs suggested by Fitzpatrick [Phys. Plasmas 2, 825 (1995)].
