High frequency geodesic acoustic modes in electron scale turbulence
Experimental investigations has elucidated on the complex dynamics of the low to high (L-H) plasma confinement mode transition. Evidence of interactions between the the turbulence driven E⃗ × B⃗ zonal flow oscillation or Geodesic Acoustic Mode (GAM) [1], turbulence and the mean equilibrium flows during this transition was found. Furthermore, periodic modulation of flow and turbulence level with t...
متن کاملElectron temperature gradient turbulence.
The first toroidal, gyrokinetic, electromagnetic simulations of small scale plasma turbulence are presented. The turbulence considered is driven by gradients in the electron temperature. It is found that electron temperature gradient (ETG) turbulence can induce experimentally relevant thermal losses in magnetic confinement fusion devices. For typical tokamak parameters, the transport is essenti...
متن کاملElectron temperature gradient driven turbulence*
Collisionless electron-temperature-gradient-driven ~ETG! turbulence in toroidal geometry is studied via nonlinear numerical simulations. To this aim, two massively parallel, fully gyrokinetic Vlasov codes are used, both including electromagnetic effects. Somewhat surprisingly, and unlike in the analogous case of ion-temperature-gradient-driven ~ITG! turbulence, we find that the turbulent electr...
متن کاملRole of nonlinear toroidal coupling in electron temperature gradient turbulence
Global gyrokinetic particle simulation and nonlinear gyrokinetic theory find that electron temperature gradient sETGd instability saturates via nonlinear toroidal coupling, which is a nonlocal interaction in the wave vector space that transfers energy successively from unstable modes to damped modes preferentially with lower toroidal mode numbers. The electrostatic ETG turbulence is dominated b...
