Enhancement of the bootstrap current in a tokamak pedestal.
The strong radial electric field in a subsonic tokamak pedestal modifies the neoclassical ion parallel flow velocity, as well as the radial ion heat flux. Existing experimental evidence of the resulting alteration in the poloidal flow of a trace impurity is discussed. We then demonstrate that the modified parallel ion flow can noticeably enhance the pedestal bootstrap current when the backgroun...
متن کاملObservation of self-generated flows in tokamak plasmas with lower-hybrid-driven current.
In Alcator C-Mod discharges lower hybrid waves have been shown to induce a countercurrent change in toroidal rotation of up to 60 km/s in the central region of the plasma (r/a approximately <0.4). This modification of the toroidal rotation profile develops on a time scale comparable to the current redistribution time (approximately 100 ms) but longer than the energy and momentum confinement tim...

متن کاملBootstrap Current Coefficients in Stellarators
A method to derive analytical expressions for bootstrap current coefficients is studied. The drift kinetic equation is divided into two parts corresponding to the effects of local and global structures of magnetic fields. The divided transport coefficients can be approximated by connecting the results of only three types of asymptotic expansions of the divided equations. The current coefficient...
متن کاملCombined RF Current Drive and Bootstrap Current in Tokamaks
By calculating radio frequency current drive (RFCD) and the bootstrap current in a consistent kinetic manner, we find synergistic effects in the total noninductive current density in tokamaks [1]. We include quasilinear diffusion in the Drift Kinetic Equation (DKE) in order to generalize neoclassical theory to highly non-Maxwellian electron distributions due to RFCD. The parallel plasma current...
