Collisionless dynamics of zonal flows in stellarator geometry
The collisionless time evolution of zonal flows in stellarator systems is investigated. An analytical solution of the kinetic and quasineutrality equations describing the residual zonal flow is derived for arbitrary three-dimensional systems without approximations in the magnetic geometry. The theory allows for an arbitrary number of particle species. It has been found that in stellarators the ...
متن کاملNonlinear Instability of Ideal Plane Flows
We study nonlinear instability of stationary ideal plane ows. For any bounded domain and very general steady ows, we showed that if the linearized equation has an exponentially growing solution then the steady ow is nonlinearly unstable. The nonlinear instability is in the sense that we can nd an initial perturbation arbitrarily close to the steady ow such that the Lp norm of the velocity ...
متن کاملOscillatory Zonal Flows Driven by Interaction between Energetic Ions and Fishbone-like Instability in CHS
Nonlinear evolution of magneto-hydro-dynamic (MHD) oscillatory phenomenon driven by the interaction with energetic particles has been studied in CHS using twin heavy ion beam probes. The measurements have provided the fine observation of internal structure of plasma quantities, such as electric field, density and magnetic field distortion during a cycle of the MHD phenomenon. The finding of a n...
متن کاملNonlinear saturation of collisionless trapped electron mode turbulence: zonal flows and zonal density
Gyrokinetic δf particle simulation is used to investigate the nonlinear saturation mechanisms in collisionless trapped electron mode (CTEM) turbulence. It is found that the importance of zonal flow is parameter sensitive and is well characterized by the shearing rate formula. The effect of zonal flow is empirically found to be sensitive to temperature ratio, magnetic shear and electron temperat...
متن کاملZonal Flow Generation by Modulational Instability
This paper gives a pedagogic review of the envelope formalism for excitation of zonal flows by nonlinear interactions of plasma drift waves or Rossby waves, described equivalently by the Hasegawa–Mima (HM) equation or the quasigeostrophic barotropic potential vorticity equation, respectively. In the plasma case a modified form of the HM equation, which takes into account suppression of the magn...
