Abstract:Interlocking and nonlinear saturation of double tearing modes (DTMs) in rotating plasmas are investigated in a reduced magnetohydrodynamic model. Differential plasma rotation is found to have a significant stabilizing effect on the DTM. Analysis for the threshold island width and locking frequency is carried out. The effect of the viscosity on the mode is also discussed. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3535371]
