Island formation and destruction of flux surfaces in three-dimensional MHD equilibria

Island formation and destruction of flux surfaces in three-dimensional MHD equilibria [electronic resource]

We describe the physics involved in the appearance of islands due to resonant pressure driven currents in three-dimensional MHD equilibria. Estimates of island widths are obtained by an expansion in ..beta... The theory is applied to Princeton's heliac reference design.
