The simulation results reproduce several main properties of IRE. The noticeable property in the linear growth of modes are the simultaneous excitation of multiple low n modes, which grow together with the similar growth rates. Spontaneous phase-alignment mechanism among those exited modes is found in the nonlinear stage of the development, which causes bulge-like deformation of torus and subsequent expulsion of heat energy to ambient region."}, title = {Nonlinear Simulations of Internal Reconnection Event in Spherical Tokamak}, year = {1998} }
