Abstract

A numerical study shows that in a cylindrical tokamak the internal kink mode (m = 1) develops non-linearly into a helical equilibrium state that possesses a singular current sheet. In the large-aspect-ratio limit, the neighbouring equilibria obtained agree well with the asymptotic analytic theory of Rosenbluth et al.
