Magnetohydrodynamic Equilibrium with Flow in Toroidal Plasmas and its Relevance to Internal Transport Barriers
The appearance of transport barriers in plasmas is usually taken to be the result of bifurcations in the transport equations, in which the possible control parameters is the radial electric field, in association with shear flow, which may contribute to the reduction or suppression of turbulent fluctuations. Yet, most calculations start from the assumption of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibira...
متن کاملAn approximate single fluid 3-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium model with toroidal flow
An approximate model for a single fluid three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium with pure isothermal toroidal flow with imposed nested magnetic flux surfaces is proposed. It recovers the rigorous toroidal rotation equilibrium description in the axisymmetric limit. The approximation is valid under conditions of nearly rigid or vanishing toroidal rotation in regions with sign...
متن کاملNonlinear axisymmetric resistive magnetohydrodynamic equilibria with toroidal flow
The equilibrium of a resistive axisymmetric plasma with purely toroidal flow surrounded by a conductor is investigated within the framework of the nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic theory. It is proved that a) the poloidal current density vanishes and b) apart from an idealized case the pressure profile should vanish on the plasma boundary. For the cases of isothermal magnetic surfaces, isentropic ...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic stability of a toroidal plasma's separatrix.
Large tokamaks capable of fusion power production such as ITER, should avoid large edge localized modes (ELMs), thought to be triggered by an ideal magnetohydrodynamic instability due to current at the plasma's separatrix boundary. Unlike analytical work in a cylindrical approximation, numerical work finds the modes are stable. The plasma's separatrix might stabilize modes, but makes analytical...
متن کاملEigenvalue problems for Beltrami fields arising in a three-dimensional toroidal magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium problem
A generalized energy principle for finite-pressure, toroidal magnetohydrodynamic MHD equilibria in general three-dimensional configurations is proposed. The full set of ideal-MHD constraints is applied only on a discrete set of toroidal magnetic surfaces invariant tori , which act as barriers against leakage of magnetic flux, helicity, and pressure through chaotic field-line transport. It is ar...
