Magnetically Induced Plasma Rotation
The extensively studied and controversial question about the origin of the observed fast rotation for magnetically confined plasmas, in particular theta pinches, is briefly reviewed. It is shown that standard MHD equations predict the experimentally observed rotation. The effect is interpreted as a form of the Einstein-de Haas effect. The generally accepted continuum plasma reasoning which deni...
متن کاملIntrinsic Plasma Rotation Determined by Neoclassical Toroidal Plasma Viscosity in Tokamaks
Intrinsic steady state plasma rotation is important for plasma confinement in ITER, since the momentum input is expected to be small. It is well known that the intrinsicplasma rotation in stellarator is determined by non-ambipolar diffusion due to helical ripple [1]. The non-ambipolar diffusion due to small 3D magnetic perturbation described by theNeoclassical Toroidal plasma Viscosity ...
متن کاملEffects of magnetic shear on toroidal rotation in tokamak plasmas with lower hybrid current drive.
Application of lower hybrid (LH) current drive in tokamak plasmas can induce both co- and countercurrent directed changes in toroidal rotation, depending on the core q profile. For discharges with q(0) <1, rotation increments in the countercurrent direction are observed. If the LH-driven current is sufficient to suppress sawteeth and increase q(0) above unity, the core toroidal rotation change ...
متن کاملMechanism of stabilization of ballooning modes by toroidal rotation shear in tokamaks.
A ballooning perturbation in a toroidally rotating tokamak is expanded by square-integrable eigenfunctions of an eigenvalue problem associated with ballooning modes in a static plasma. Especially a weight function is chosen such that the eigenvalue problem has only the discrete spectrum. The eigenvalues evolve in time owing to toroidal rotation shear, resulting in a countably infinite number of...
متن کاملCalculation of impurity poloidal rotation from measured poloidal asymmetries in the toroidal rotation of a tokamak plasma.
To improve poloidal rotation measurement capabilities on the DIII-D tokamak, new chords for the charge exchange recombination spectroscopy (CER) diagnostic have been installed. CER is a common method for measuring impurity rotation in tokamak plasmas. These new chords make measurements on the high-field side of the plasma. They are designed so that they can measure toroidal rotation without the...
