Abstract

The influence of stationary driven helical current on tearing mode instability in the m = 2/n = 1 rational surface is explored numerically using resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulation in cylindrical geometry. The results indicate that the flip instabilities result from the sustained injection of the sufficiently strong helical current driven in the island O-point. The driven helical current induces high order harmonics of instabilities due to the delay of suppressing timing and the increase of its current intensity. With the appropriate current density values, the development of the perturbed kinetic energy can be limited and the occurrence of the flip instabilities can be delayed for a long time. The radial deviation of the current deposition can lead to poor inhibition effect, and the effect of current bias on the boundary is greater than that on the axis.
