PFC / JA - 96 - 5 The Influence of Anomalous Diffusion on Parallel Ion Transport in Edge Plasmas
In edge plasmas, such as the tokamak scrape-off layer, transport parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field are strongly coupled. It is shown that this leads to an unconventional form of the parallel transport laws. In particular, if the radial transport is governed by anomalous diffusion, the parallel ion transport cannot be entirely classical. This general phenomenon is demonstrated exp...
متن کاملTurbulent electron thermal transport in tokamaks
The origin of anomalous electron thermal turbulence from spatial gradients in magnetized plasmas is described. Laboratory experiments demonstrating key features of drift waves are reviewed. The turbulent electromagnetic fields produce an anomalous transport that scales with both the gradient parameters and microscopic plasma scale length parameters. The change from the micro-scale dominated gyr...
متن کاملRole of Transport and MHD Stability in Simulations of H-mode Pedestal Development in ELMy Plasmas
This study addresses the development of a scaling of the H-mode pedestal in tokamak plasmas with type I ELMs. In particular, the scaling studies carried out illustrate the dependence of the pedestal properties and the resulting divertor heat load width as a function of plasma elongation and plasma current. H-mode pedestal profiles for DIII-D and Alcator C-Mod tokamaks are considered: DIII-D for...
متن کاملTrapped particles and asymmetry-induced transport
Trapped particle modes and the associated asymmetry-induced transport are characterized experimentally in cylindrical electron plasmas. Axial variations in the electric or magnetic confinement fields cause the particle trapping, and enable the E3B drift trapped-particle modes. Collisional diffusion across the trapping separatrix causes the modes to damp, and causes bulk radial transport when th...
متن کاملGradient transport processes in E×B plasmas
Various classes of non-quiescent magnetized plasma exhibit anomalous energy and/or momentum diffusivity. In this case, ‘anomalous’ is meant to characterize a transport regime wherein the measured property flux disagrees with classical theory. In most examples anomalous transport is substantially higher than classical expressions predict; it is no different for the Hall accelerator. It has been ...
متن کاملPlasma Rotation and Transport in the MAST Spherical Tokamak
The formation of internal transport barriers (ITBs) is investigated in MAST spherical tokamak (ST) plasmas. The roles of E×B flow shear, q-profile (magnetic shear) and MHD activity in their formation and evolution are studied using data from high-resolution kineticand q-profile diagnostics. In L-mode plasmas, with co-current directed NBI heating, ITBs in the momentum and ion thermal channels fo...
