摘要：

Effects of the pressure profile and the current density profile inside the top of the pedestal and that of the plasma shape on the expansion of the structure of the unstable edge MHD mode are investigated numerically. The structure of the edge MHD mode is expanded by spreading the envelope of the edge ballooning mode structure due to the increase of the pressure gradient inside the top of the pedestal, and by decreasing the toroidal mode number of the most unstable mode due to the increase of the current density inside the top of the pedestal. In strongly shaped plasmas, the pressure gradient inside the top of the pedestal can approach to the ballooning mode stability boundary and the current density increases enough to reduce the toroidal mode number of the most unstable mode. These increases of the pressure gradient and the current density destabilize the edge MHD mode and expand the structure of this mode.
