摘要
The effects of current profile on the ideal ballooning mode for circular and shaped poloidal cross-section plasmas in tokamaks are studied analytically and numerically. The results show that for moderately shaped plasmas the critical normalized beta, beta(NC), against the ballooning mode increases approximately linearly with the plasma internal inductance l(i). As the plasma becomes more strongly shaped, this dependence on l(i) becomes weaker, and for a divertor plasma beta(NC) shows a very weak dependence on l(i) for the range of moderate l(i) values considered.
