@article{bishop1986stability, author = {Bishop, Christopher}, title = {Stability of Localised MHD Modes in Divertor Tokamaks - a picture of the H-mode}, year = {1986}, month = {January}, abstract = {The paper examines the stability of a model divertor tokamak equilibrium to MHD ballooning and interchange modes. The combined effects of the magnetic separatrix and a finite edge current density can result in coalescence of the first and second stable regions. This leads to a picture of the H-mode in which the observed steep edge pressure gradients result from the modified ballooning stability properties.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/stability-localised-mhd-modes-divertor-tokamaks-picture-h-mode/}, pages = {1063}, journal = {Nuclear Fusion}, volume = {26}, edition = {Nuclear Fusion}, }
