Abstract

Nonlinear drift-tearing magnetic islands are studied numerically with a four-field model thatincludes the parallel ion dynamics. In certain regions of the parameter space, multiple solutions arefound. In particular, linearly stable drift-tearing perturbations can grow to finite size magnetic islandswhen the amplitude of the initial perturbation is sufficiently large.
