The simulations were executed using the MHD Infrastructure for Plasma Simulation (MIPS) code in a realistic experimental geometry of the REversed field pinch of Low-Aspect ratio eXperiment (RELAX) device with reconstructed initial equilibria calculated by the RELAXFit code. Long-term evolutions showed remarkable formation of n = 4 structures as a result of the dominant growth of resistive modes. The resultant relaxed helical state consists of a bean-shaped, hollow pressure profile in the poloidal cross section for both the cases of resonant and non-resonant triggering instabilities.}, title = {Modeling of Formation of Helical Structures in Reversed-Field Pinch}, volume = {Vol.7}, year = {2012} }
