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 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...
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 کاملGyrokinetic �f particle simulation of trapped electron mode driven turbulence
The linear instabilities and nonlinear transport driven by collisionless trapped electron modes �CTEM� are systematically investigated using three-dimensional gyrokinetic �f particle-in-cell simulations. Scalings with local plasma parameters are presented. Simulation results are compared with previous simulations and theoretical predictions. The magnetic shear is found to be linearly stabilizin...
متن کاملPotential Turbulence in Tokamak Plasmas
Microscopic potential turbulence in tokamak plasmas are investigated by a multi-samplevolume heavy ion beam probe. The wavenumber/frequency spectra S(k,ω) of the plasmas potential fluctuation as well as density fluctuation are obtained for the first time. The instantaneous turbulence-driven particle flux, calculated from potential and density turbulence has oscillations of which amplitude is ab...
