Computation of Tokamak Equilibria With Steady Flow
At present controlled therm onuclear fusion research is close to dem onstrating the feasibility of a fusion reactor. Three large tokam ak devices, TFTR , JE T , and JT-60, aim at break-even. These experiments are diagnosed and controlled by utiliz ing codes which are based on various plasma models. M acroscopic models describing equilibri um , stability and transport are am ong the most im po...
متن کاملA unified treatment of kinetic effects in a tokamak pedestal
We consider the effects of a finite pedestal radial electric field on ion orbits using a unified approach. We then employ these modified orbit results to retain finite E×B drift departures from flux surfaces in an improved drift kinetic equation. The procedure allows us to make clear distinction between transit averages and flux surface averages when solving this kinetic equation. The technique...
متن کاملKinetic Effects in the Pedestal of a Tokamak
We consider the effects of finite ExB on the residual and neoclassical ion heat transport and ion flow in the pedestal. For a tokamak pedestal with a density scale of the poloidal ion gyroradius the finite ExB drift modfies the ion orbits, moving the trapped-passing boundary towards the tail of the ion distribution function. Introduction In many tokamak plasmas the width of the pedestal is obse...
متن کاملMulti-Region Approach to Free-Boundary 3D Tokamak Equilibria and Resistive Wall Instabilities
Free-boundary 3D tokamak equilibria and resistive wall instabilities are calculated using a new resistive wall model in the two-fluid M3D-C1 code. In this model, the resistive wall and surrounding vacuum region are included within the computational domain. This implementation contrasts with the method typically used in fluid codes in which the resistive wall is treated as a boundary condition o...
متن کاملA Kinetic Study of Microwave Start-up of Tokamak Plasmas
A kinetic model for studying the time evolution of the distribution function for microwave startup is presented. The model for the distribution function is two dimensional in momentum space, but, for simplicity and rapid calculations, has no spatial dependence. Experiments on theMega Amp Spherical Tokamak have shown that the plasma current is carried mainly by electrons with energies greater th...
