Trapped electron mode turbulence driven intrinsic rotation in Tokamak plasmas.
Progress from global gyrokinetic simulations in understanding the origin of intrinsic rotation in toroidal plasmas is reported. The turbulence-driven intrinsic torque associated with nonlinear residual stress generation due to zonal flow shear induced asymmetry in the parallel wave number spectrum is shown to scale close to linearly with plasma gradients and the inverse of the plasma current, q...
متن کاملElectron Plasmas Cooled by Cyclotron-Cavity Resonance.
We observe that high-Q electromagnetic cavity resonances increase the cyclotron cooling rate of pure electron plasmas held in a Penning-Malmberg trap when the electron cyclotron frequency, controlled by tuning the magnetic field, matches the frequency of standing wave modes in the cavity. For certain modes and trapping configurations, this can increase the cooling rate by factors of 10 or more....
متن کاملIntrinsic rotation driven by non-Maxwellian equilibria in Tokamak plasmas.
The effect of small deviations from a Maxwellian equilibrium on turbulent momentum transport in tokamak plasmas is considered. These non-Maxwellian features, arising from diamagnetic effects, introduce a strong dependence of the radial flux of cocurrent toroidal angular momentum on collisionality: As the plasma goes from nearly collisionless to weakly collisional, the flux reverses direction fr...
متن کاملPfc/ja-83-13 Parametric Phenomena in Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating of Tokamak Plasmas
A theoretical study of parametric processes near the electron cyclotron resonance region in tokamak plasmas is presented. Parametric dispersion relations, including finite wave length of the driver pump, of principal and harmonic parametric excitations, are given. The problem of primary and secondary decays including their temporal and spatial growth rates is studied. In the nonlinear phase of ...
متن کاملExperimental observations of driven and intrinsic rotation in tokamak plasmas
Experimental observations of driven and intrinsic rotation in tokamak plasmas are reviewed. For momentum sources, there is direct drive from neutral beam injection, lower hybrid and ion cyclotron range of frequencies waves (including mode conversion flow drive), as well as indirect j B × forces from fast ion and electron orbit shifts, and toroidal magnetic field ripple loss. Counteracting rotat...
