Linear and non-linear calculation of resistive magnetohydrodynamic instabilities

The time-dependent, linear and non-linear, resistive magnetohydrodynamic, numerical models that have been developed at MFECC are reviewed. The purpose of these codes is to compute growth rates, mode structure and saturation of tearing, rippling, and interchange modes in fusion experiments. Cartesian, cylindrical, helical, and toroidal geometries are used in the applications. The numerical methods are described and applications to reversed field configurations are presented.
