Controlling Edge Plasma Rotation Through Poloidally Localized Refueling
The transport of angular momentum due to neutral atoms in the tokamak edge is calculated and shown to be sensitive to the poloidal location of the neutrals. In the absence of external momentum sources, the edge plasma is predicted to rotate spontaneously in the opposite direction to the plasma current, at a speed proportional to the radial ion temperature gradient. If the plasma is collisional,...
متن کاملStatistical characterization and classification of edge-localized plasma instabilities.
The statistics of edge-localized plasma instabilities (ELMs) in toroidal magnetically confined fusion plasmas are considered. From first principles, standard experimentally motivated assumptions are shown to determine a specific probability distribution for the waiting times between ELMs: the Weibull distribution. This is confirmed empirically by a statistically rigorous comparison with a large...
متن کاملThe Edge Rotation Graph
Let P be a set of n points on the plane in general position, n ≥ 3. The edge rotation graph ERG(P, k) of P is the graph whose vertices are the plane geometric graphs on P with exactly k edges, two of which are adjacent if one can be obtained from the other by an edge rotation. In this paper we study some structural properties of ERG(P, k), such as its connectivity and diameter. We show that if ...
متن کاملMagnetically Induced Plasma Rotation
The extensively studied and controversial question about the origin of the observed fast rotation for magnetically confined plasmas, in particular theta pinches, is briefly reviewed. It is shown that standard MHD equations predict the experimentally observed rotation. The effect is interpreted as a form of the Einstein-de Haas effect. The generally accepted continuum plasma reasoning which deni...
