Peeling-Ballooning Model

Revision as of 00:45, 17 May 2013 by TFN (talk | contribs)

The Peeling-Ballooning Model is a description of MHD stability in the edge region of tokamaks, where plasma can go either peeling unstable or ballooning unstable [1] [2]. It is one candidate mechanism underlying the formation of Edge Localized Modes.
