Transport of parallel momentum by collisionless drift wave turbulence
This paper presents a novel, unified approach to the theory of turbulent transport of parallel momentum by collisionless drift waves. The physics of resonant and nonresonant off-diagonal contributions to the momentum flux is emphasized, and collisionless momentum exchange between waves and particles is accounted for. Two related momentum conservation theorems are derived. These relate the reson...
متن کاملRole of phase space structures in collisionless drift wave turbulence and impact on transport modeling
In fusion plasmas, several mechanisms such as heating, wave-particle interaction etc can drive deviations of distribution function from Maxwelian to form phase space structures. This article discusses the impact of phase space structures in drift wave turbulence on dynamics and transport modeling. The two cases of (i) coherent holes and (ii) incoherent granulations (clusters of correlated reson...
متن کاملOn Minimum-B Stabilization of Electrostatic Drift Instabilities
A check is made of a stabilization theorem of ROSENBLUTH and KRALL (Phys. Fluids 8, 1004 [1965]) according to which an inhomogeneous plasma in a minimum-ß field {ß 1) should be stable with respect to electrostatic drift instabilities when the particle distribution functions satisfy a condition given by TAYLOR, i. e. when AND ^fl^W <L 0. Although the dispersion relation of ROSENBLUTH and KRALL i...
متن کاملIntermittency and Structures in Drift Wave Turbulence: Towards a Probabilistic Theory of Anomalous Transport
For forty years, plasma turbulence theory has been based on notions of ‘mixing length’, ‘diffusion’, and other ideas from mean field theory. However, there is now a plethora of evidence, from both simulations and experiments, that plasma turbulence is strongly intermittent and that transport is bursty, and composed of a multiplicity of "events" of differing scales. In this case, "predictive mod...
متن کاملPerpendicular electron collisions in drift and acoustic wave instabilities
Perpendicular electron dynamics and the associated collisions are discussed in relation to the collisional drift wave instability. In addition, the limit of small parallel wave numbers of this instability is studied and it is shown to yield a reduced wave frequency. It is also shown that in this case the growth rate in fact decreases for smaller parallel wave numbers, instead of growing proport...
