CASTOR: Normal-mode analysis of resistive MHD plasmas. (English) Zbl 0921.76100

J. Comput. Phys. 142, No. 2, 271-303 (1998).
Summary: The CASTOR (complex Alfvén spectrum of toroidal plasmas) code computes the entire spectrum of normal modes in resistive MHD for general tokamak configurations. The applied Galerkin method, in conjunction with a Fourier finite element discretisation, leads to a large scale eigenvalue problem \({\mathbf A}\underline x=\lambda {\mathbf B}\underline x\), where \({\mathbf A}\) is a nonself-adjoint matrix. \(\copyright\) Academic Press.
