The first fully two‐dimensional eigenmode analysis of the trapped‐ion instability in an axisymmetric toroidal geometry is presented. The poloidal structure is taken into account by Fourier‐expanding the perturbed electrostatic potential, φ, in ϑ. Assuming that the perturbation varies mildly over a typical ion‐banana‐width, ρbi, each poloidal harmonic is expressed as a truncated Taylor series in the minor radius to account for the radial structure. The resulting set of coupled ordinary second‐order differential equations is solved numerically by the method of finite elements. The formalism is also applicable to the radially local and one‐dimensional radial approximations. Results obtained in these limits are presented and found to be in reasonable agreement with previous calculations. In low shear plasmas, the full two‐dimensional calculation is in qualitative agreement with the one‐dimensional radial approximation. However, for higher shear the two‐dimensional calculation yields a somewhat different pictu...
