Control of Chaotic Magnetic Fields in Tokamaks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chaotic magnetic eld lines play an important role in plasma con nement by tokamaks. They can either be generated in the plasma as a result of natural instabilities or arti cially produced by external conductors, like resonant helical windings and ergodic magnetic limiters. This is a review of works carried out at the Universidade de S~ao Paulo and Universidade Federal do Paran a on theoretical and experimental aspects of generation and control of chaotic magnetic eld lines in tokamaks.

Breakdown of adiabatic invariance in spherical tokamaks
Thermal ions in spherical tokamaks have two adiabatic invariants: the magnetic moment and the longitudinal invariant. For hot ions, variations in magnetic-field strength over a gyro period can become sufficiently large to cause breakdown of the adiabatic invariance. The magnetic moment is more sensitive to perturbations than the longitudinal invariant and there exists an intermediate regime, su...
متن کاملReduction of the chaotic transport of impurities in turbulent magnetized plasmas
The control of transport in magnetically confined plasmas is of major importance in the long way to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion. Two major mechanisms have been proposed for such a turbulent transport: transport governed by the fluctuations of the magnetic field and transport governed by fluctuations of the electric field. There is presently a general consensus to consider, at low pl...
متن کاملThree-dimensional plasma transport in open chaotic magnetic fields: A computational assessment for tokamak edge layers
The development of nuclear fusion as an alternative energy source requires the research on magnetically confined, high temperature plasmas. In particular, the quantification of plasma flows in the domain near exposed material surfaces of the plasma container by computer simulations is of key importance, both for guiding interpretation of present fusion experiments and for aiding the ongoing des...
متن کاملبررسی شتابدهی ذرات باردار از طریق بازاتصالی مغناطیسی در محیطهای پلاسمایی
Magnetic reconnection, which occurs in high conducting plasmas, changes the topology of magnetic field lines and converts magnetic energy into the kinetic and thermal energy of plasma and also accelerates charged particles. This phenomenon plays an important role in changing the dynamic of laboratory and space plasmas such as fusion tokamaks and sun’s corona. The electric and magnetic fields ge...
متن کاملRealistic examples of chaotic magnetic fields created by wires
In this paper we study some examples of magnetic fields with hyperbolic periodic orbits and erratic behavior. The remarkable fact is that the fields under consideration are originated by configurations which consist of two thin wires. We present a rigorous proof of the chaoticity of these magnetic fields, in the sense that they possess KAM islands and homoclinic tangles, and we also provide num...
