Numerically stable method for kinetic electrons in gyrokinetic particle-in-cell simulation of toroidal plasmas
The direct implicit method with a second-order implicit integration scheme is formulated for and applied to the electron parallel nonlinearity in global electrostatic gyrokinetic particle-in-cell simulations of toroidal fusion plasmas. The method shows improved numerical accuracy and stability properties compared to the direct implicit method with a first-order integration scheme. The conservat...
متن کاملDensity limits in toroidal plasmas
In addition to the operational limits imposed by MHD stability on plasma current and pressure, an independent limit on plasma density is observed in confined toroidal plasmas. This review attempts to summarize recent work on the phenomenology and physics of the density limit. Perhaps the most surprising result is that all of the toroidal confinement devices considered operate in similar ranges ...
متن کاملFull particle orbit effects in regular and stochastic magnetic fields
1 We present a numerical study of charged particle motion in a time-independent magnetic field in cylindrical geometry. The magnetic field model consists of an unperturbed reversed-shear (non-monotonic q-profile) helical part and a perturbation consisting of a superposition of modes. Contrary to most of the previous studies, the particle trajec-tories are computed by directly solving the full L...
متن کاملNeoclassical Transport in Enhanced Confinement Toroidal Plasmas
It has recently been reported that ion thermal transport levels in enhanced confinement tokamak plasmas have been observed to fall below the "irreducible minimum level" predicted by standard neoclassical theory. This apparent contradiction is resolved in the present analysis by relaxing the basic neoclassical assumption that the ions orbital excursions are much smaller than the local toroidal m...
متن کاملPaleoclassical transport in low-collisionality toroidal plasmas
Radial electron heat transport in a low-collisionality, current-carrying resistive plasma confined in an axisymmetric toroidal magnetic field is hypothesized to be caused by the paleoclassical collisional processes of parallel electron heat conduction and radial magnetic-field diffusion. The electron distribution is Maxwellianized and the electron temperature equilibrated over a long length L t...
