摘要: If βN exceeds βNno-wall, the plasma will be unstable because of external kink and resistive wall mode (RWM). In this article, the effect of the passive structure and the toroidal rotation on the RWM stability in the experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST) are simulated with CHEASE and MARS codes. A model using a one-dimensional (1D) surface to present the effect of the passive plate is proved to be credible. The no wall βN limit is about 3li, and the ideal wall βN limit is about 4.5li on EAST. It is found that the rotation near the q=2 surface and the plasma edge affects the RWM more.
