Nonlinear interplay of Alfvén instabilities and energetic particles in tokamaks
The confinement of energetic particles (EPs) is crucial in the efficient heating of tokamak plasmas. Plasma instabilities such as Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) can redistribute the EP population, making the plasma heating less effective and leading to additional loads on the walls. The nonlinear dynamics of toroidicity induced AEs (TAEs) is investigated by means of the global gyrokinetic particle-in-...
متن کاملPressure- and magnetic shear-driven instabilities in rotating MHD jets
We derive new stability criteria for purely MHD instabilities in rotating jets, in the framework of the ballooning ordering expansion. Quite unexpectedly, they involve a term which is linear in the magnetic shear. This implies that cylindrical configurations can be destabilized by a negative magnetic shear as well as by a favorable equilibrium pressure gradient, in distinction with the predicti...
متن کاملNonlinear simulations of macro-instabilities in tokamak plasmas beyond MHD
The simulation of the interaction between macroscopic Alfvén modes and a population of hot ions is one of the challenges in tokamak plasma physics, mainly because of its possible negative impact on the plasma confinement in a future fusion device. The bi-fluid XTOR-2F code [1], using a fully implicit method with an iterative pre-conditioned Newton-Krylov for its solution at every time step has ...
متن کاملWaves and Instabilities in Accretion Disks : MHD Spectroscopic Analysis
A complete analytical and numerical treatment of all magnetohydrodynamic waves and instabilities for radially stratified, magnetized accretion disks is presented. The instabilities are a possible source of anomalous transport. While recovering results on known hydrodynamic and both weak-and strong-field mag-netohydrodynamic perturbations, the full magnetohydrodynamic spectra for a realistic acc...
متن کاملDirect Simulation of Mhd Instabilities in Aluminum Reduction Cells
Introduction. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities in aluminum reduction cells (see Fig. 1) have been the subject of several studies, since the pioneering work of Urata et al. [1]. The interaction between the electrolysis current in the cell and the background magnetic field due to remote currents gives rise to a strong magnetic force acting on the fluids inside the cell. Different kinds of ...
