- Abstract
- Highly coherent structures associated with an extremely long-lived saturated magnetohydrodynamic instability have been observed in KSTAR tokamak under a long-pulse and steady-state operation. They persist essentially unchanged for the full duration of a discharge up to 40 s, much longer than any dynamical or dissipative time scales in the system. Analysis of the data, supported by numerical simulations, indicates that they may be associated with a pressure-driven mode causing some degradation in the toroidal rotation, electron, and ion energy confinement.
