Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

The stability of ideal ballooning modes in the presence of a rigid toroidal rotation is revisited. Two stabilising contributions arising due to rigid toroidal rotation are identified. These stabilising contributions can be particularly significant for present and future generations of low and ultra-low aspect ratio tokamaks.
