Abstract

An exploratory study is made of a low-dimensional model for the edge dynamics of magnetic fusion plasmas, in which entrainment by sawtooth relaxation oscillations in the core is simulated by a periodic forcing term. The bifurcation structure of the constantly forced model is reviewed, to identify oscillatory behavior that could be beneficially modified by mode-locking to the sawtooth period and amplitude. Some novel effects of entrainment are shown
