摘要：
We report the first nonlinear three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) numerical simulations of the reversed-field pinch (RFP) that exhibit a systematic repetition of quasisingle helicity states with the same dominant mode in between reconnection events. This distinctive feature of experimental self-organized helical RFP plasmas is reproduced in MHD simulations at low dissipation by allowing a helical modulation of the plasma magnetic boundary similar to the experimental one. Realistic mode amplitudes and magnetic topology are also found.
