In this paper, we study the axisymmetric vertical instability of elongated configurations, including the effect of volumetric three-dimensional conducting structures surrounding the plasma. In order to deal with the huge computational models arising from the realistic geometrical description, a GPU-based (graphics processing units) acceleration is pursued. The method is applied to some ITER configurations, for which the open-loop growth rates, the input–output transfer functions and the gain and phase margins are computed.

Abstract
In this paper, we study the axisymmetric vertical instability of elongated configurations, including the effect of volumetric three-dimensional conducting structures surrounding the plasma. In order to deal with the huge computational models arising from the realistic geometrical description, a GPU-based (graphics processing units) acceleration is pursued. The method is applied to some ITER configurations, for which the open-loop growth rates, the input–output transfer functions and the gain and phase margins are computed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
