Experimental identification of the kink instability as a poloidal flux amplification mechanism for coaxial gun spheromak formation.
The magnetohydrodynamic kink instability is observed and identified experimentally as a poloidal flux amplification mechanism for coaxial gun spheromak formation. Plasmas in this experiment fall into three distinct regimes which depend on the peak gun current to magnetic flux ratio, with (I) low values resulting in a straight plasma column with helical magnetic field, (II) intermediate values l...
متن کاملParametric Study of Equilibrium and Stability Analysis of HT-6M Tokamak in the Presence of Flow
It is experimentally observed that tokamak plasmas exhibits macroscopic flow in the toroidal and poloidal directions. Both the flow can considerably change the equilibrium parameters of tokamak. Equilibrium of HT-6M is revisited as a case study and its equilibrium parameters are simulated in the presence of toroidal and poloidal flows with the FLOW Code developed by L. Guazzotto at that Univers...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic Equilibrium with Flow in Toroidal Plasmas and its Relevance to Internal Transport Barriers
The appearance of transport barriers in plasmas is usually taken to be the result of bifurcations in the transport equations, in which the possible control parameters is the radial electric field, in association with shear flow, which may contribute to the reduction or suppression of turbulent fluctuations. Yet, most calculations start from the assumption of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibira...
متن کاملOn steady poloidal and toroidal flows in tokamak plasmas
The effects of poloidal and toroidal flows on tokamak plasma equilibria are examined in the magnetohydrodynamic limit. “Transonic” poloidal flows of the order of the sound speed multiplied by the ratio of poloidal magnetic field to total field B /B can cause the normally elliptic Grad– Shafranov GS equation to become hyperbolic in part of the solution domain. It is pointed out that the range of...
متن کاملUW-CPTC 08-7R Toroidal flow and radial particle flux in tokamak plasmas
Many effects influence toroidal flow evolution in tokamak plasmas. Momentum sources and radial transport due to collisional processes and microturbulence-induced anomalous transport are usually considered. In addition, toroidal flow can be affected by non-axisymmetric magnetic fields; resonant components cause localized electromagnetic toroidal torques near rational surfaces in flowing plasmas ...
