Transition from drift to interchange instabilities in an open magnetic field line configuration
The transition from a regime dominated by drift instabilities to a regime dominated by pure interchange instabilities is investigated and characterized in the simple magnetized toroidal device TORPEX TORoidal Plasma EXperiment, A. Fasoli et al., Phys. of Plasmas 13, 055906 2006 . The magnetic field lines are helical, with a dominant toroidal component and a smaller vertical component. Instabili...
متن کاملCross-field motion of plasma blobs in an open magnetic field line configuration.
The radial propagation of blobs generated from plasma instabilities is investigated in an open magnetic field line configuration. Blob cross-field velocities and sizes are obtained from internal probe measurements using pattern recognition. By varying the ion mass, the normalized vertical blob scale a[over] is scanned from a[over] < 1 to a[over] > 1. An analytical expression for the blob veloci...
متن کاملAn Uncertainty-based Transition from Open Pit to Underground Mining
There are some large scale orebodies that extend from surface to the extreme depths of the ground. Such orebodies should be extracted by a combination of surface and underground mining methods. Economically, it is highly important to know the limit of upper and lower mining activities. This concern leads the mine designers to the transition problem, which is one of the most complicated problems...
متن کاملElectrostatic drift modes in a closed field line configuration
The stability of electrostatic drift waves in a closed field line configuration in collisionality regimes ranging from collisional to collisionless is compared. The maximum sustainable pressure gradient is found to be dependent on the ratio of the temperature and density gradients (h[d ln T/d ln n). The eigenmodes are seen to be flute-like. The stability boundary was found to be similar when bo...
متن کاملHigh-field transport in an electron-hole plasma: transition from ballistic to drift motion.
The time evolution of high-field carrier transport in bulk GaAs is studied with intense femtosecond THz pulses. While ballistic transport of electrons occurs in an n-type sample, a transition from ballistic to driftlike motion is observed in an electron-hole plasma. This onset of friction is due to the holes, which are heated by THz absorption. Theoretical calculations, which reproduce the data...
