Neutral-beam power of up to 1.2 MW injected into the plasma has produced a volume-averaged ⟨β⟩ of up to 2.6% and a central beta β0 of up to 7%, due to the thermal components in the JFT-2 tokamak. In these beam-dominated discharges, the magnetohydrodynamic behaviour was studied. Four types of internal oscillations were observed: i) enhanced sawtooth oscillations with long repetition time and large sawtooth amplitude; ii) round sawtooth oscillations and/or reduced sawtooth oscillations with short repetition time and small sawtooth amplitude; iii) high-frequency oscillations without sawtooth oscillations, and iv) high-frequency oscillations with sawtooth oscillations. The measured beta values are compared with the critical ones as found from high-n ballooning-mode analysis, and the relationship between MHD behaviour and beta values is also investigated.
