(1) Numerical simulation of the nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic evolution of pulse 86144 in the DIII-D tokamak at General Atomics, San Diego. Deformed pressure surfaces and magnetic field line trajectories are shown. The simulation was performed with the NIMROD code on the NERSC T3E. The contours are pressure contours, the streamlines are of the magnetic field. Scott....Tecplot (amtec is the company)
(2) The animation below was done by Tom Gianakon using Xdraw. It represents the evolution of a large-scale plasma instability (Kink Ballooning mode) and its subsequent destabilization. The contours represent constant pressure as a function of time.
(3) The visualizations below are two views of the same surface and were generated in Matlab by Diego del-Castillo-Negrete. Both plots are of the parallel plasma current with the color indicating the radial position location to emphasize the helical distortion of the inboard side. The top image is in toroidal geometry while the bottom image is the same data stretched into a cylinder.
(4) The visualization below was done in OpenDX by a UC Boulder graduate student. The outer blue surface shows the geometry of the Spheromak simulation. The top red/green/blue bananna shaped object represents contours of constant parallel plasma current. The redish color droping down is one isosurface of parallel plasma current. The yellow and purple tubes represent magnetic field trajectories (stream traces).
