Abstract

At the present time, Magnetic Confinement Fusion (MCF) is considered as a way to produce energy. In this work, one of the Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) limitations has been discussed. As closed magnetic surfaces, the Magnetic Islands (MIs) which are generated due to pressure effects, need to be surrounded by a separatrix which separate them from the other parts. External Magnetic Fields (EMFs), the safety factor (q) and the pressure profiles would be used to take the MIs under control. This could be achieved through an exterior medium, exclusively the Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH) as well as the Current Drive (ECCD). Study of the magnetic flux surfaces and the effect of magnetic perturbation on tokamak plasmas, inform us about the formation of the MIs and their locations. In this work, together with the comprehensive review of the MIs and their importance, the conventional methods for improving the magnetic confinement has been introduced and discussed. In this regards, the Hot Limiter Biasing (HLB) method and the Resonant Helical Field (RHF) which is produced by external Helical Coils (HCs) were introduced and used. Then, the plasma current (), the Loop voltage, and the MO were obtained for different states. Finally, the Magnetic Islands Width (W) and their Growth Rate (GR) were calculated and compared with the experimental results.
