The plasma response, in particular, the plasma boundary surface corrugation due to the single-legged coil current, is modeled by the updated MARS-F code, by computing the plasma displacement for all important toroidal harmonics(n?=?1, 2, 4 and 5) associated with the partial toroidal coverage by the coil. The plasma response produced by the single-legged coil is found to be non-local and is of the kinkpeeling type. For a reference EAST plasma with a lower single-null magnetic configuration, the plasma boundary corrugation near the X-point, produced by the upper single-legged coil, is about twice as large as that produced by the lower single-legged coil, despite the proximity of the latter to the X-point.展开更多
