Macroscopic constraints for the minimum entropy production principle.
In an essential and quite general setup, based on networks, we identify Schnakenberg's observables as the constraints that prevent a system from relaxing to equilibrium, showing that, in the linear regime, steady states satisfy a minimum entropy production principle. The result is applied to master equation systems, opening a new path to a well-known version of the principle regarding invariant...
متن کاملPotential Turbulence in Tokamak Plasmas
Microscopic potential turbulence in tokamak plasmas are investigated by a multi-samplevolume heavy ion beam probe. The wavenumber/frequency spectra S(k,ω) of the plasmas potential fluctuation as well as density fluctuation are obtained for the first time. The instantaneous turbulence-driven particle flux, calculated from potential and density turbulence has oscillations of which amplitude is ab...
متن کاملTransport equations in tokamak plasmas
Tokamak plasma transport equations are usually obtained by flux surface averaging the collisional Braginskii equations. However, tokamak plasmas are not in collisional regimes. Also, ad hoc terms are added for neoclassical effects on the parallel Ohm’s law, fluctuation-induced transport, heating, current-drive and flow sources and sinks, small magnetic field nonaxisymmetries, magnetic field tra...
متن کاملEigenvalue Spectrum of MHD Modes in Cylindrical Tokamak Plasmas with Small Resistivity
For the understandings of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) characteristics in plasma, the spectrum of the resistive MHD modes are investigated in detail by solving the eigenvalue problem of the reduced MHD equations in cylindrical tokamak plasmas. The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the resistive MHD modes are clarified for small toroidal and poloidal mode numbers, and the discrete eigenvalues w...
متن کاملDrift-tearing magnetic islands in tokamak plasmas
A systematic fluid theory of nonlinear magnetic island dynamics in conventional low, large aspect-ratio, circular cross-section tokamak plasmas is developed using an extended magnetohydrodynamics model that incorporates diamagnetic flows, ion gyroviscosity, fast parallel electron heat transport, the ion sound wave, the drift wave, and average magnetic field-line curvature. The model excludes th...
