Size scaling of turbulent transport in magnetically confined plasmas.
Transport scaling with respect to device size in magnetically confined plasmas is critically examined for electrostatic ion-temperature-gradient turbulence using global gyrokinetic particle simulations. It is found, by varying device size normalized by ion gyroradius while keeping other dimensionless plasma parameters fixed, that fluctuation scale length is microscopic in the presence of zonal ...
متن کاملRole of plasma elongation on turbulent transport in magnetically confined plasmas.
The theoretical study of plasma turbulence is of central importance to fusion research. Experimental evidence indicates that the confinement time results mainly from the turbulent transport of energy, the magnitude of which depends on the turbulent state resulting from nonlinear saturation mechanisms, in particular, the self-generation of coherent macroscopic structures and large scale flows. P...
متن کاملThe Anomalous Transport in Turbulent Plasmas
The particle and energy transport was analyzed for different regions and regimes of the plasma in tokamak with special attention for ITER. For the particle transport in the tokamak edge plasma was obtained results useful for the qualitative cross-check of the numerical models of the first principle simulations, including ITER, as well as in the elaboration of the simplified, reduced models of t...
متن کاملTurbulent particle transport in magnetized plasmas.
Particle transport in magnetized plasmas is investigated with a fluid model of drift wave turbulence. An analytical calculation shows that magnetic field curvature and thermodiffusion drive an anomalous pinch. The curvature driven pinch velocity is consistent with the prediction of turbulence equipartition theory. The thermodiffusion flux is found to be directed inward for a small ratio of elec...
متن کاملElectrostatic and magnetic transport of energetic ions in turbulent plasmas.
Analytical and numerical work is used in tandem to address the problem of turbulent transport of energetic ions in magnetized plasmas. It is shown that orbit averaging is not valid under rather generic conditions, and that perpendicular decorrelation effects lead to a slow 1/E decay of the electrostatic particle diffusivity of beam ions, while the respective magnetic quantity is even independen...
