Thermoelastic wave induced by pulsed laser heating
In this work, a generalized solution for the thermoelastic plane wave in a semi-infinite solid induced by pulsed laser heating is developed. The solution takes into account the non-Fourier effect in heat conduction and the coupling effect between temperature and strain rate, which play significant roles in ultrashort pulsed laser heating. Based on this solution, calculations are conducted to st...
متن کاملThreshold of parametric decay instability accompanying electron Bernstein wave heating in spherical tokamaks
Abstract. The parametric instability of upper hybrid wave decay into back scattered upper hybrid wave and lower hybrid wave is considered for conditions of inhomogeneous plasma of spherical tokamaks. The possibility of absolute instability is demonstrated and the corresponding threshold is determined. It is shown that the threshold power increases with pump frequency and electron temperature. T...
متن کاملParametric Decay Instability During High Harmonic Fast Wave Heating Experiments on the TST-2 Spherical Tokamak
A degradation of heating efficiency was observed during high-harmonic fast wave (HHFW) heating of spherical tokamak plasmas when parametric decay instability (PDI) occurred. Suppression of PDI is necessary to make HHFW a reliable heating and current drive tool in high β plasmas. In order to understand PDI, measurements were made using a radially movable electrostatic probe (ion saturation curre...
متن کاملA statistical study of ion frictional heating observed by EISCAT
Results of a statistical survey of F-region ion frictional heating are presented, a survey which is based on over 4000 h of common programme observations taken by the European incoherent scatter (EISCAT) UHF radar facility. The criterion adopted in this study for the identi®cation of ion frictional heating was that de®ned by McCrea et al., requiring an enhancement in the F-region ®eld-parallel ...
متن کاملDemonstration of Electron-Bernstein-Wave Heating in a Tokamak via O-X-B Double-Mode Conversion
The first demonstration of electron-Bernstein-wave heating by double-mode conversion from the O to the X mode in an overdense H-mode tokamak plasma has been achieved in the Tokamak à Configuration Variable device. This technique overcomes the upper density limit experienced by conventional microwave heating. The sensitive dependence of the O-X mode conversion on the microwave launching directio...
