Abstract :
In this paper, we analyze the initial phase of an asymmetric plasma displacement event in a tokamak. We assume a rigid model of the plasma and a three-dimensional model of the conducting structures. A volume-integral eddy current formulation is coupled to force and torque balance in the plasma
