Edge-localized mode (ELM): H-mode pedestal relaxation via peeling-ballooning

Layer 1 — Physicsin the fusion-physics subtree

In H-mode tokamak operation, the edge pedestal pressure gradient ∇p and bootstrap-driven edge current j_∥ grow between transport relaxation events. When the edge crosses the ideal-MHD peeling-ballooning stability boundary…
