Electrostatic drift modes in a closed field line configuration
The stability of electrostatic drift waves in a closed field line configuration in collisionality regimes ranging from collisional to collisionless is compared. The maximum sustainable pressure gradient is found to be dependent on the ratio of the temperature and density gradients (h[d ln T/d ln n). The eigenmodes are seen to be flute-like. The stability boundary was found to be similar when bo...
متن کاملTransition from drift to interchange instabilities in an open magnetic field line configuration
The transition from a regime dominated by drift instabilities to a regime dominated by pure interchange instabilities is investigated and characterized in the simple magnetized toroidal device TORPEX TORoidal Plasma EXperiment, A. Fasoli et al., Phys. of Plasmas 13, 055906 2006 . The magnetic field lines are helical, with a dominant toroidal component and a smaller vertical component. Instabili...
متن کاملA semi-Lagrangian code for nonlinear global simulations of electrostatic drift-kinetic ITG modes
A semi-Lagrangian code for the solution of the electrostatic drift-kinetic equations in straight cylinder configuration is presented. The code, CYGNE, is part of a project with the long term aim of studying microturbulence in fusion devices. The code has been constructed in such a way as to preserve a good control of the constants of motion, possessed by the drift-kinetic equations, until the n...
متن کاملSmall-scale turbulence in a closed-field-line geometry.
Plasma turbulence due to small-scale entropy modes is studied with gyrokinetic simulations in a simple closed-field-line geometry, the Z pinch, in low-beta parameter regimes that are stable to ideal interchange modes. We find an enormous variation in the nonlinear dynamics and particle transport as a function of two main parameters, the density gradient and the plasma collisionality. This varia...
