Show affiliationsA self-consistent, rigorous approach is proposed to study the synergistic effects of plasma flow, drift kinetic resonances and three-dimensional conducting structures on the resistive wall mode. This approach is based on coupling between the hybrid MHD-kinetic computation and the 3D electromagnetic eddy current computation via a specific boundary condition. It allows study of the stability and feedback control of the resistive wall mode, as well as the resonant field amplification associated with the stable mode response. A test example is considered to show the combined effects of plasma flow, kinetic effects and 3D conductors on the mode stability and control.
