Nonlinear interplay of Alfvén instabilities and energetic particles in tokamaks
The confinement of energetic particles (EPs) is crucial in the efficient heating of tokamak plasmas. Plasma instabilities such as Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) can redistribute the EP population, making the plasma heating less effective and leading to additional loads on the walls. The nonlinear dynamics of toroidicity induced AEs (TAEs) is investigated by means of the global gyrokinetic particle-in-...
متن کاملLinear and nonlinear evolution of alpha-particle driven gap modes
A discussion of linear dynamics and nonlinear evolution of modes belonging to the shear Alfvhn branch is presented. Attention is focused to the modes which exist near the gap of the continuous spectrum. A discussion of the relative importance of mode-mode coupling, E x B trapping and stochastic losses is also presented.
متن کاملParticle simulation of energetic particle driven Alfvén modes
The results of hybrid MHD-particle simulations of the Alfvén mode dynamics in a reversed-shear beam-heated DIII-D discharge are reported and compared with the experimental observations. Specific attention is devoted to the inclusion, in the numerical model, of nonlinear coupling between different toroidal mode numbers.
متن کاملParticle simulation of energetic particle driven Alfv19 en modes
The mutual nonlinear interactions of shear Alfvén modes and alpha particles can enhance their transport in burning plasmas. Theoretical and numerical works have shown that rapid transport of energetic ions can take place because of fast growing Alfvén modes (e.g. energetic particle driven modes, EPMs). This kind of transport has been observed in experiments as well as in numerical simulations. ...
متن کاملLinear Properties and Nonlinear Frequency Chirping of Energetic Particle Driven Geodesic Acoustic Mode in LHD
Linear Properties and nonlinear frequency chirping of energetic particle driven geodesic acoustic mode (EGAM) is investigated using a hybrid simulation code for energetic particles interacting with a magnetohydrodynamic fluid. It is found that the EGAM is a global mode with the spatially uniform oscillation frequency. The poloidal mode numbers of poloidal velocity fluctuation, plasma density fl...
