The stability of the $n=1$ resistive wall modes (RWMs) is investigated using the AEGIS code for the newly designed China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) 1GW steady-state operating (SSO) scenario. Here, $n$ is the toroidal mode number. Due to the large fraction of bootstrap current contribution, the profile of safety factor q is deeply reversed in magnetic shear in the central core region and locally flattened within the edge pedestal. Consequently the pressure-driven infernal components develop in the corresponding q-flattened regions of both core and edge. However, the edge infernal components dominate the $n=1$ RWM structure and lead to lower $beta_N$ limits than the designed target $beta_N$ for the CFETR 1GW SSO scenario. The edge rotation is found the most critical to the stabilization due to the dominant influence of the edge infernal components, which should be maintained above $1.5%Omega_{A0}$ in magnitude in order for the rotation alone to fully suppress the $n=1$ RWM in the CFETR 1GW SSO scenario.

This article reports an evaluation on the linear ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability of the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR) baseline scenario for various first-wall locations. The initial-value code NIMROD and eigen-value code AEG
IS are employed in this analysis. A good agreement is achieved between two codes in the growth rates of $n=1-10$ ideal MHD modes for various locations of the perfect conducting first-wall. The higher-$n$ modes are dominated by ballooning modes and localized in the pedestal region, while the lower-$n$ modes have more prominent external kink components and broader mode profiles. The influences of plasma-vacuum profile and wall shape are also examined using NIMROD. In presence of resistive wall, the low-$n$ ideal MHD instabilities are further studied using AEGIS. For the designed first-wall location, the $n = 1$ resistive wall mode (RWM) is found unstable, which could be fully stabilized by uniform toroidal rotation above 2.9% core Alfven speed.
The stabilizing effects of enhanced edge resistivity on the low-n edge localized modes (ELMs) are reported for the first time in the context of ELM suppression in H-mode discharge due to Lithium-conditioning in the National Spherical Torus Experiment
(NSTX). Here n is the toroidal mode number. Linear stability analysis of the corresponding experimental equilibrium suggests that the change in the equilibrium plasma density profile alone due to Lithium-conditioning may be insufficient for a complete suppression of ELMs. The enhanced resistivity due to the increased effective electric charge number Z eff after Lithium-conditioning can account for additional stabi- lization effect necessary for full ELM suppression. Remarkably, such a stabilizing effect of enhanced edge resistivity on the low-n ELMs only exists when two-fluid effects are considered in the MHD model.
The CFETR baseline scenario is based on a H-mode equilibrium with high pedestal and highly peaked edge bootstrap current, along with strong reverse shear in safety factor profile. The stability of ideal MHD modes for the CFETR baseline scenario has b
een evaluated using NIMROD and AEGIS codes. The toroidal mode numbers (n=1-10) are considered in this analysis for different positions of perfectly conducting wall in order to estimate the ideal wall effect on the stability of ideal MHD modes for physics and engineering designs of CFETR. Although, the modes (n=1-10) are found to be unstable in ideal MHD, the structure of all modes is edge localized. Growth rates of all modes are found to be increasing initially with wall position before they reach ideal wall saturation limit (no wall limit). No global core modes are found to be dominantly unstable in our analysis. The design of $q_{min}>2$ and strong reverse shear in $q$ profile is expected to prevent the excitation of global modes. Therefore, this baseline scenario is considered to be suitable for supporting long time steady state discharge in context of ideal MHD physics, if ELMs could be controlled.
The effects of line-tying on resistive tearing instability in slab geometry is studied within the framework of reduced magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD).citep{KadomtsevP1974,Strauss1976} It is found that line-tying has a stabilizing effect. The tearing mod
e is stabilized when the system length $L$ is shorter than a critical length $L_{c}$, which is independent of the resistivity $eta$. When $L$ is not too much longer than $L_{c}$, the growthrate $gamma$ is proportional to $eta$ . When $L$ is sufficiently long, the tearing mode scaling $gammasimeta^{3/5}$ is recovered. The transition from $gammasimeta$ to $gammasimeta^{3/5}$ occurs at a transition length $L_{t}simeta^{-2/5}$.
We investigate the effects of runaway electron current on the dispersion relation of resistive magnetohydrodynamic modes in tokamaks. We present a new theoretical model to derive the dispersion relation, which is based on the asymptotic analysis of t
he resistive layer structure of the modes. It is found that in addition to the conventional resistive layer, a new runaway current layer can emerge whose properties depend on the ratio of the Alfven velocity to the runaway electron convection speed. Due to the contribution from this layer, both the tearing mode and kink mode will have a real frequency in addition to a growth rate. The derived dispersion relation has been compared with numerical results using both a simplified eigenvalue calculation and a M3D-C1 linear simulation, and good agreement is found in both cases.
