Abstract
Resistive kink oscillations in magnetic fusion plasmas are usually treated as core localized events, yet there there are several mechanisms by which they may interact with the edge dynamics. In this work an exploratory study is made of a low-dimensional model for the edge dynamics, 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 interesting and potentially useful effects of entrainment on the dynamics are shown
