Abstract

The invariant manifold reduction is applied to the problem of nonlinear tearing mode evolution in a plane plasma slab, and the resulting reduced description compared with existing numerical simulation results. The reduced description is found to give a significant degree of insight into the mode competition processes responsible for the major features of the nonlinear evolution, and even provide a degree of quantitative accuracy.
