Abstract
The ballooning mode equation for three-dimensional toroidal configurations with anisotropic plasma pressure is derived from the Kruskal–Oberman energy principle. The Mercier criterion is evaluated for nonaxisymmetric systems with shear (stellarators). This theory can determine spatially localized neutral beam injection effects on ballooning-interchange stability.
