摘要: A numerical study of the diamagnetic drift effect on the nonlinear interaction between multi-helicity neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) is carried out using a set of four-field equations including two-fluid effects. The results show that, in contrast to the single-fluid case, 5/3 NTM cannot be completely suppressed by 3/2 NTM with diamagnetic drift flow. Both modes exhibit oscillation and coexist in the saturated phase. To better understand the effect of the diamagnetic drift flow on multiple-helicity NTMs, the influence of typical relevant parameters is investigated. It is found that the average saturated magnetic island width increases with increasing bootstrap current fraction $f_{\rm b}$ but decreases with the ion skin depth $\delta $. In addition, as the ratio of parallel to perpendicular transport coefficients $\chi_{\parallel }/\chi_{\bot }$ increases, the average saturated magnetic island widths of the 3/2 and 5/3 NTMs increase. The underlying mechanisms behind these observations are discussed in detail.
