Numerical Simulation of Neoclassical Currents, Parallel Viscosity, and Radial Current Balance in Tokamak Plasmas
One of the principal problems en route to a fusion reactor is that of insufficient plasma confinement, which has lead to both theoretical and experimental research into transport processes in the parameter range relevant for fusion energy production. The neoclassical theory of tokamak transport is well-established unlike the theory of turbulence driven anomalous transport in which extensive pro...
متن کاملIon orbit loss current in ASDEX Upgrade
The orbit loss current is calculated for the ASDEX Upgrade geometry using the 5D (3D in configuration space and 2D in velocity space) Monte Carlo code ASCOT. The balance between the obtained current and the analytical estimate of the return current shows an L–H transition for the normalized collision frequency ν∗i ≈ 1 as expected from analytic theory. The transition in ASDEX Upgrade, however, o...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Guiding-Centre Simulations of E ×B Flow Shear in Edge Transport Barrier
Er × B flow shear is simulated with a fully kinetic five-dimensional neoclassical Monte Carlo simulation both for JET and ASDEX Upgrade. Here, Er is the radial electric field and B is the magnetic field. It is shown that high enough shear for turbulence suppression can be driven at the Low (L) to High (H) transition conditions without taking into account anomalous processes in Er shear formatio...
متن کاملGeneration of blobs and holes in the edge of the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak
The intermittent character of turbulent transport is investigated with Langmuir probes in the scrape-off layer (SOL) and across the separatrix of ASDEX Upgrade Ohmic discharges. Radial profiles of plasma parameters are in reasonable agreement with results from other diagnostics. The probability density functions of ion-saturation current fluctuations exhibit a parabolic relation between skewnes...
متن کاملA numerical study of fixed frequency reflectometry measurements of plasma filaments with radial and poloidal velocity components.
A 2D finite-differences time-domain full-wave code is used to simulate the measurements of plasma filaments with fixed frequency O-mode reflectometry. The plasma is modeled by a linear slab plasma plus a Gaussian perturbation propagating in a direction that can vary from poloidal to radial. The plasma background density gradient is chosen in agreement with the steep edge transport barrier of H-...
