Notes on linear ideal MHD theory of tokamak plasmas

Youjun Hu ¹

Abstract:

This note discusses the linear ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory of tokamak plasmas. This note also serves as a document for the GTAW code (General Tokamak Alfvén Waves code), which is a Fortran code calculating Alfven eigenmodes in realistic tokamak geometry.
