Statistical model for intermittent plasma edge turbulence.
The probability distribution function of plasma density fluctuations at the edge of fusion devices is known to be skewed and strongly non-Gaussian. The causes of this peculiar behavior are, up to now, largely unexplored. On the other hand, understanding the origin and the properties of edge turbulence is a key issue in magnetic fusion research. In this paper we show that a stochastic fragmentat...
متن کاملSelf-organized-criticality model consistent with statistical properties of edge turbulence in a fusion plasma.
The statistical properties of the intermittent signal generated by a recent model for self-organized criticality are examined. A successful comparison is made with previously published results of the equivalent quantities measured in the electrostatic turbulence at the edge of a fusion plasma. This result reestablishes self-organized criticality as a potential paradigm for transport in magnetic...

where θ is the density of impurities, μθ the collisional diffusivity, and ζ = mθ qθ e mi ρs Ln the influence of inertia, which enters via the polarization drift. The latter makes the flow compressible, consequently for ideal (massless) impurities, ζ = 0 and advection is due to the incompressible electric drift only. In all cases the impurity density is assumed to be so low compared to the bulk ...

with τe being the electron collision time. nEQ is an equilibrium density associated with neoclassical fields and currents. K (nEQ) =−∇qJPS, which in turn is driven by the corresponding neoclassical potential JPS = 1 C (φPS). The contribution of impurities to the gross plasma density ni,0 is assumed to be negligible, i. e. ni = ni,0+nimp ≈ ni,0. For cold impurities the ion-drift velocity is give...
متن کاملStatistical properties of transport in plasma turbulence
The statistical properties of the E ×B flux in different types of plasma turbulence simulations are investigated using probability density distribution functions (PDF). The physics included in the models ranges from two dimensional drift-wave turbulence to three dimensional MHD simulations. The PDFs of the flux surface averaged transport are in good agreement with an extreme value distribution ...
