Zero-turbulence manifold in a toroidal plasma.
Sheared toroidal flows can cause bifurcations to zero-turbulent-transport states in tokamak plasmas. The maximum temperature gradients that can be reached are limited by subcritical turbulence driven by the parallel velocity gradient. Here it is shown that q/ϵ (magnetic field pitch/inverse aspect ratio) is a critical control parameter for sheared tokamak turbulence. By reducing q/ϵ, far higher ...
متن کاملComparisons of Nonlinear Toroidal Turbulence Simulations with Experiment Comparisons of Nonlinear Toroidal Turbulence Simulations with Experiment
The anomalously large thermal transport observed in tokamak experiments is the outstanding physics-based obstacle in the path to a commercially viable fusion reactor. Although decades of experimental and theoretical work indicate that anomalous transport and collective instabilities in the gyrokinetic regime are linked, no widely accepted description of this transport yet exists. Here, detailed...
متن کاملMagnetic Reconnection in Toroidal hi Mode Turbulence
Based on three-dimensional simulations of the Braginskii equations we show that for typical plasmaedge parameters the saturation of electromagnetic toroidal hi mode turbulence is controlled by the selfgeneration and subsequent annihilation of radial magnetic field perturbations. This should be contrasted with the electrostatic limit, where the growth of the linear hi mode is terminated by the o...
متن کاملBasic investigations of electrostatic turbulence and its interaction with plasma and suprathermal ions in a simple magnetized toroidal plasma
Progress in basic understanding of turbulence and its influence on the transport both of the plasma bulk and of suprathermal components is achieved in the TORPEX simple magnetized torus. This configuration combines a microwave plasma production scheme with a quasi-equilibrium generated by a toroidal magnetic field, onto which a small vertical component is superimposed, simulating a simplified f...
متن کاملSelf-Organised Factorial Encoding of a Toroidal Manifold
It is shown analytically how a neural network can be used optimally to encode input data that is derived from a toroidal manifold. The case of a 2-layer network is considered, where the output is assumed to be a set of discrete neural firing events. The network objective function measures the average Euclidean error that occurs when the network attempts to reconstruct its input from its output....
