Coupling Between a 3-D Integral Eddy Current Formulation and a Linearized MHD Model for the Analysis of Resistive Wall Modes

This paper focuses on the coupling procedure between a 3-D integral formulation of the eddy currents problem and a linearized MHD model solved with a differential approach. The final aim is to develop a computational tool able to analyze the resistive wall modes of fusion plasmas, including the 3-D effects of nonaxisymmetric conducting structures surrounding the plasma.
