Turbulent momentum transport due to neoclassical flows
Intrinsic toroidal rotation in a tokamak can be driven by turbulent momentum transport due to neoclassical flow effects breaking a symmetry of turbulence. In this paper we categorize the contributions due to neoclassical effects to the turbulent momentum transport, and evaluate each contribution using gyrokinetic simulations. We find that the relative importance of each contribution changes wit...
متن کاملComparison of neoclassical predictions with measured flows and evaluation of a poloidal impurity density asymmetry
The study and prediction of velocities in the pedestal region of Alcator CMod are important for understanding plasma confinement and transport. In this study we examine the simplified neoclassical predictions for impurity flows using equations developed for plasmas with background ions in the Pfirsch-Schlüter (high collisionality) and banana (low collisionality) regimes. B flow profiles for H-m...
متن کاملPlasma rotation effects on neoclassical tearing modes
The effect of an equilibrium sheared ow on the nonlinear evolution of a neoclassical tearing mode is investigated by estimating the inuence it has on the inner and outer layer dynamics of the mode. Two complementary approaches are adopted. A generalized Rutherford model calculation is carried out to estimate the ow contributions to the polarization current term in the inner layer. For the ou...
متن کاملNeoclassical toroidal plasma viscosity torque in collisionless regimes in tokamaks.
Bumpiness in a magnetic field enhances the magnitude of the plasma viscosity and increases the rate of the plasma flow damping. A general solution of the neoclassical toroidal plasma viscosity (NTV) torque induced by nonaxisymmetric magnetic perturbation (NAMP) in the collisionless regimes in tokamaks is obtained in this Letter. The plasma angular momentum can be strongly changed, when there is...
متن کاملDensity Gontrol Problems in Large Stellarators with Neoclassical Particle TransPort
With respect to the particle flux, the off-diagonal term in the neoclassical transport matrix becomes crucial in the stellarator long-mean-free-path (lmfp) regime. Central heating with peaked temperature profiles can make an active density profile control by central particle refuelling mandatory. The neoclassical particle confinement can exceed significantly the energy confinement at the outer ...
