摘要
The localized electron cyclotron resonance heating power that can suppress sawteeth reconnection often drives m = 2 tearing modes in a tokamak operating at constant current. The dynamics of mode onset and coupled mode evolution is described in detail and compared with a nonlinenr theoretical model that identifies the effects of mode coupling, finite inertia of the rotating islands, and wall braking.
