摘要
The vertical stability of the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) is studied in detail in the present paper. It is found that correct modelling of the detailed three-dimensional (3D) features of the conducting structures surrounding the plasma is essential in order to get reliable estimates of the growth rate of vertical displacement events. The numerical model developed, based on the CarMa0 code, can take 3D effects into account, and provides results very close to experimental values for a wide range of plasma configurations. A deep insight about the current density patterns induced in passive structures is gained.
