Abstract
The tokamak disruption model based on the nonlinear interaction of multiple helicity tearing modes is extended to include diamagnetic effects. This introduces mode rotation and time‐varying phases during the nonlinear interaction. The basic nonlinear destabilization mechanism associated with plasma disruptions remains unaffected by diamagnetic effects.Keywords
