The impact of magnetic geometry on wave modes in cylindrical plasmas

Both space and laboratory plasmas can be associated with static magnetic field, and the field geometry varies from uniform to non-uniform. This thesis investigates the impact of magnetic geometry on wave modes in cylindrical plasmas. The cylindrical configuration is chosen so as to explore this impact in a tractable but experimentally realisable configuration. Three magnetic geometries are considered: uniform, focused and rippled. These studies suggest suppressing drift waves in a uniformly magnetised plasma by increasing the field strength, enhancing the efficiency of helicon wave production of plasma by using a focused magnetic field, and forming a gap eigenmode on a linear plasma device by introducing a local defect to the system's periodicity, which is useful for understanding the gap-mode formation and interaction with energetic particles in fusion plasmas.
